I mean, it seems like a lot of healthy things are high in oxalic acid based on these: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/oxalate-good-or-badhttps://www.webmd.com/kidney-stones/kidney-stones-food-causes#1

There are different kinds of kale. Only some of them would I use in a salad (besides baby kale) without doing the old lemon salt hand massage on it.

Kale is very low in oxalic acid. Chard has a lot.

Oh yeah, I use baby kale a lot.

Kale is commonly consumed raw in smoothies. I like Tuscan kale for salad purposes but a nice regular kale caesar can be good too

I think I’m solid with kale but am limited in raw arugula (rocket) consumption because it makes my throat itchy. Weird allergy?
― untuned mass damper (mh), Monday, 12 August 2019 03:42 (four years ago) link
I find the arugula in the UK is a lot different than the one in the US. The US one is too peppery/coarse?

I just learned last week that paprika is made from bell pepper/sweeter capsicum. I just thought it appeared as itself, paprika, somehow.
― Yerac, Monday, 12 August 2019 03:55 (four years ago) link
Haha, I just learned this too when shopping for paprika for goulash. I've been leaning heavily on smoky paprika lately for a lot of recipes, but the goulash called very specifically for sweet. I was confused by this until I learned there's no difference between sweet paprika and regular paprika.

Interesting. Canadian Oxford Dictionary says "vs."

I (British) was taught a long time ago that a dot at the end of an abbreviation was needed only if letters were missing there - i.e. only needed if the last letter of the abbr. is not the last letter of the full word. So "abbr.", "co.", "pop." etc., but not "Dr", "Ltd", "vs" etc. Probably only the opinion of that particular teacher, but it's stayed with me.

I actually prefer the British rule there ("Mr" > "Mr.") but Canadian style seems to side with the Yanks on this one. Maybe we just want to use the maximum number of characters so we double "l"s and throw in "o"s before "ur" but also add in these periods after abbreviations and use double quotes instead of single.

― pomenitul, Wednesday, 14 August 2019 11:34 (four years ago) link
I guess we're actually throwing in "u"s in the middle of "or".
― All along there is the sound of feedback (Sund4r), Wednesday, 14 August 2019 11:37 (four years ago) link
I thought the original way to spell things had the u for whatever historic etymological reasons and the Americans just got rid of them cos they wanted to simplify whatever spelling.

the way I understood it was that English just didn't have standard spelling when the USA became independent and the UK and USA just standardised differently, but at around the same time, so neither spelling predates the other. and UK English went with "u"s because French was seen as posh and therefore better or something
― Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 14 August 2019 14:25 (four years ago) link
zee is pre-webster (earliest printed appearance in a 1677 spelling book)* but NW gave it his seal (s/b seel)of approval and it then landed solidly and began to spread. sesame street took it wide.
zed derives from french zede (from greek zeta); zee is assumed to be "well we say bee, dee, tee etc so it must be zee
*not sure if book wz UK or US but either way this aurely means it wz said "zee" in the uk in 1677 then also (as well as "zed"): in fact the diff might be a class thing (only posh ukanians know greek)
"Other pronunciations of “z” you might hear in the English speaking world include: zod, zad, zard, ezod, izzard, and uzzard"
