Re: TV ownership fine
As a non-Brit, it boggles my mind that an entire country feverishly defends its government fining people for owning TVs.
And before you explain to me the difference between a "fee" and a "fine", I would like you to first explain it to yourself.
First you have a false premise.
Your second paragraph seems to indicate that realise that there is a difference so why didn't you use the correct term in the first place?
And I don't need to explain the difference to myself, it's something I've known for as long as I can remember. I think I also have a reasonable handle on what the two words meant in medieval English but that's something I've only understood for the last couple of decades or so.
