Sir_Osis_of_Liver (sir_osis_of_liver@beige.party)'s status on Thursday, 09-May-2024 08:41:26 JST Sir_Osis_of_Liver I was confused for a bit:
"In parliamentary procedure, the verb to table has the opposite meaning in the United States from that of the rest of the world:
In the United States, to "table" usually means to postpone or suspend consideration of a pending motion. Generally, to avoid spending time on debate and consideration.
In the rest of the English-speaking world, to "table" means to begin consideration (or reconsideration) of a proposal."🙂
