Alliteration is all about how a word sounds, not how it is spelled. "Shooting star" and "Slim Shady" are not an examples of alliteration. And "Showcase Showdown" is an example of alliteration of the "sh" sound, not the "s" sound.

Got 100%- though at first I typed in "shabbas shul" and then realized what I was writing. I also wonder if anyone tried "sterling silver" for the cutlery, that would have been accurate 50-100 years ago I think.

FWIW - As instituted in the Mosaic Law, the Sabbath was to be observed from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. Sunday School is not conducted on the Sabbath.

The Lord's Day is Sunday, but you are on the right track... so many changing traditions and syncretism. Bridie is now St Bridget for most, Guatemala is not widely known for tiny multiracial Sephardim from the highlands, and Sunnis are rarely known for holding a Cathar-like belief in the reincarnation of the souls of humans and animals.

Indoctrination: "the process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically." I know Sunday Schools which teach critical thinking so people have the freedom to make up their own mind.

Sunday school is lots of drawing. Like how you comforted a person in distress, or what is family, and what makes you happy.

Also, in the 80s, back row drug dealing by future city officials 🙄

The sabbath is and always has been Saturday, for Jews, for Muslims, and for every single denomination of Christian. It's a popular, very easily disproven, misconception that the "Christian sabbath" is Sunday. Sunday for Christians is "the Lord's Day." It is not and has never been the Sabbath.

And yet: Jewish children frequently attend religious education on Sunday... "Sunday school" = "education about the Sabbath" instead of "education on the Sabbath".

The reason "some Christians" say Sunday is the Sabbath is just a point of confusion, though. According to Mosaic (Jewish) law Sabbath is the 7th day of the week, Saturday, the day that god rested after getting tuckered out creating the Universe. It was a day when it was illegal to do work, so rest and prayer were what Jews usually did. Christian tradition holds that Jesus was executed on a Friday. The Jews responsible for burying him hurriedly cut him down and buried him nearby because Saturday was approaching (the Sabbath) and they could not work on a Saturday. Friday and Saturday (Sabbath) passed, then on the 3rd day (Sunday) the tomb was empty. Christians started to revere Sunday as the Lord's Day for this reason, and it became an important day for them for church services. Because they used this day for prayer, they started giving people the day off from work. And then later on "some Christians" became confused, thinking that Sunday was Sabbath because they didn't work on it.

English is dynamic. The meaning of words change according to popular usage. If awesome originally meant awful, but enough people use it to mean the opposite, eventually the meaning will change. If enough people use "terrorism" to mean something done by a person they dislike, then eventually the definition will be updated to reflect this. If enough people use "literally" to mean figuratively, then eventually that's what the word will mean. And I guess if there are enough "some Christians" out there who don't know what Sabbath is, then through their collective ignorance they'll change the meaning of that word, too. According to Google is seems they may have already. So, okay, whatever.

You're correct, Kalbahamut. There are some Christian groups such as Seventh-Day Adventists and Seventh-day Baptists who still worship on the sabbath day instead of Sunday. There seemed to be a movement in the early church to distance Christians from Jewish traditions, so maybe that's where the evolution to Sunday worship began. I have no problem either way. I go on Sunday because that's when everyone else at my church goes, but I know a lot of churches that are holding Saturday night services in addition to Sunday, and I'm fine with that, too.

Very unlikely. Hardly anyone has silverware cutlery (which doesn't necessarily have to be sterling silver btw) nowadays. I know just a few people who do and they inherited it. So sale numbers should be very low. Escpecially compared to very common stainless steel.

As someone who plays quite a bit of tennis, sweet spot is often (if not frequently) used to refer to the middle of the racket (often balls are referred to as sweetly timed). However I admit the term is somewhat general and associated with a lot of different sports
