Default Happy Winter Solstice Day!

For many of us, it's interesting trivia; while for others, just trivia.
For a very few, it could be very usefull; or not.
YMMV


WHAT TRIVIA?

The statement Jim made is meaningless. It's not trivia at all. It's
semantically empty words.

It means NOTHING to say that "in English, the Winter solstice is the
shortest day of the year but in some other language the Winter solstice is
the longest night of the year". In English it is both, and in any other
language it is also both.

There is nothing about the English language that forces one to consider the
Winter solstice as the shortest day of the year rather than the longest
night.

If you think it's trivia, useful or not, then how about explaining WHAT THE
FRIGGIN' STATEMENT MEANS.

Thank you.
