Actually some of the most naïve people I’ve ever met were theretofore academically successful.
I find little shards of plastic in the vegetables from the supplier at work quite often. Sometimes I plate a dish and spot a bit of blue where it shouldn’t be.
Median? You want us all to line up in order and compare?
I’m not convinced that there’s even a soft rule; I think it’s just a case of the one or the other way of doing it nebulously sticking, like how sometimes you form a noun with -ness and sometimes you do it with -hood. Which now I think about it is more or less what you’re saying, but I don’t think it’s done consciously at any rate.
I believe “the gays” used to be offensive, and I did notice that myself but it doesn’t make sense to met that that would be the distinction!
adjectives as nouns are rarely a good sign in general
I don’t think that’s true unless you mean within the context of referring to people or something, e.g. the blacks, the poors. But then stuff like “the rich” and “the unemployed” I don’t really take issue with.
I think it unironically would be androids.
Does it make a difference that it’s under the section “Prescribed Prayers”? Because the New Testament has a similar rule written in it that women have to cover their heads while praying.

I concede, but the joke is supposed to be told verbally so I’m happy with my choice.
Cherry picking to sound smart.

This reminds me of a stupid joke:
“Oh, my car’s been flattened by a big stone, you know one of those massive, round stones?”
“Boulder?”
“MY CAR’S BEEN FLATTENED…”
You can sort of tell by the style, the typeface the name’s set in, and the boilerplate dialogue.
It means “mixed breed” in Portuguese and Spanish. You’d most often hear the word in South America, where it means some particular mixture of heritage as far as I remember.
Or literally ON biological material?
That you’ve just washed? Nope! On a glove that’s been worn so long it’s got shite all over it? Yep!
For handling food, they certainly are as clean as each other! Unless you think gloves magically repel dust and so on while sitting in the open box on the kitchen shelf?
Sounds very funny to English ears, as it happens.
