BTW could you at least try to offer your generic sneers in decent
grammar, "news18": "A fool and his money", not "a fool and their money",
eh? See, "a" and "his" are both singular, whereas "a" and "their" fight
each other, so that people reading your sneer are counterproductively
distracted by your illiteracy and pay less attention than you wish to
your spite.

You are free to take the singular approach.
BTW, women are usually not as stupid. YMMV.


B) I hope he has the purchase receipt when he makes the insurance
claim.


I lost a watch once. The insurance company already had the details of
the receipt, noted when it agreed the insured value. They paid in full
without a murmur. I bought exactly the same watch again, and still wear
it on the very rare occasions I wear a watch.


Lol, you obviously pay too much for a device to inform you of the time. I
haven't need one for over five decades.
