I'm pretty sure this is more likely to make me walk across the grass though - it feels like they're assuming what I'm doing, which feels offensive enough for me to make sure they're wrong about it.

I'll often go through O&S, and then lose steam during one of the Lord Souls afterward.

Dark Souls. If there's nothing else I want to play, I'm always up for another run through Lordran with a build I've never tried before.

What makes it different is that it was perpetrated by Paypal, so nobody will see any consequences whatsoever.

Oh wow, I haven't thought about that episode in decades.

Feels like the backstory of Wall-E

As a lifelong Nintendo fan, I've been rooting against them in pretty much everything for close to a decade at this point.

Sekiro for me, for similar reasons.

It's definitely the same thing. We can test this using other modals and auxiliaries in equivalent question constructions to show that we're dealing with analogous structures:

If making a question with "might", for example (with the pro-predicate base sentence "But your medical clinic might do"), we get "But might your medical clinic do?"

With "would", "But would your medical clinic do?"

So, with "dummy do"/do-support leading to the insertion of "do" for inversion purposes, along with the separate pro-predicate "do" lower in the clause, "Your medical clinic does" (or possibly "Your medical clinic does do") becomes in the same way "Does your medical clinic do?"

Here's a blog post about it, and here's a StackExchange exchange about it.
