    I Need Cell Phone Advice...

    How To Use Paypal To Get Money Out?

    Proper diction: A subject of discussion is not contentious. The correct adjective is controversial, as in "the subject of Bitcoin is too controversial to discuss." A participant in a discussion may, however, be contentious; and if more than one participant is contentious, then the entire...
