Points to Jeph for accuracy in today's strip - by which I mean, listening to teenagers describe entirely mundane and trivial things as drama is incredibly dull. Source: I have 3 teenage nieces and I worked in a school for 3 years, there is NOTHING too inconsequential to be used as an excuse for... anything.
Not quite true. We just have to specify what kind of milk it is - that goes for goat and sheep milk, as well as the vegan alternatives. There's virtually no such thing as "milk" without some kind of adjective or qualifier, but it's all "milk". Or at least, this is so from my experience in Britain.
As for using soy as a meat-milk alternative... you mostly can. I am particularly sensitive to the taste and prefer oat milk, if the real stuff isn't available, but most people don't really care unless it's for some kind of specialist diet or recipe.
I honestly think that Jeph might have forgotten to mention it out loud? Emmett has been referred to by everyone as 'they' since we first met them, but it's honestly tricky to tell if that was intentional or if Sam used the singular 'they' and everyone else followed suite. Emmett certainly hasn't specified, or objected, either way. Considering their shy and/or oblivious nature, they may not even have noticed.Originally Posted by Keltest
