You think she approves their vacation? If she wasn’t here, they wouldn’t all have taken vacation at once, is that what you think?

Interesting that the PLP Government says “typical process” rather than “the law” or “as always”.

Very poor planning. Very poor oversight by the Governor in approving this. This is not acceptable. Obvious major problems.

Miriam Webster, Oxford, Cambridge, dictionary.com…

They all have it listed as an adjective meaning “able to be contacted”.

Now, sure… years ago, contact was solely a noun. Rex Stout famously had it be a pet peeve of his detective, Nero Wolfe…

But language changes to suit needs and it has been a verb, and thus translatable to adjective, for a long time now.
