Parking is byapp, which (when it works) is good. But £7.70 to park is extortionate, so GTR needs to look at reducing that.
SCULLY: What are these chips used for? PENDRELL: Video games, brake systems, they're finding newapps every day. I just read about one being designed to help the severely disabled operate computers using brainwaves.
“Ky—please don't take this the wrong way—I actually have to wear a dress from our line. You know, to show off my marketing materials on my collegeapp. So, I'm working on it with Hannah.”

If you lay out a platter of these exciting, beautiful vegetarian appetizers, the otherapps will pale in comparison.

This is not to say that we only serveapps at dinner parties. Quite the contrary; but for smaller gatherings, good appetizers can distinguish you as a host who puts more thought and effort into his or her party menu. Better yet, mostapps are relatively easy to make[…]

According toRoyal Spanish Academy (RAE) prescriptions, unadapted foreign words should be written in italics in a text printed in roman type, and vice versa, and in quotation marks in a manuscript text or when italics are not available. In practice, this RAE prescription is not always followed.
Before feminine nouns beginning with stressed/ˈa/ likeapp, the singular definite article takes the form ofel (otherwise reserved for masculine nouns) instead of the usualla:el app. This includes the contracted formsal anddel (instead ofa la andde la, respectively):al app,del app.
This also applies to the indefinite article, which takes the form ofun, which is otherwise used with masculine nouns (although the standard feminine formuna also occurs):un app oruna app. The same is true with determinersalgún/alguna andningún/ninguna, as well as for numerals ending with 1 (e.g.,veintiún/veintiuna).
However, if another word intervenes between the article and the noun, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (la,una etc.) are used:la mejor app,una buena app.
In these cases,el andun are not masculine but feminine, deriving from Latinilla anduna, respectively, even though they are identical in form to the corresponding masculine singular articles. Thus, they areallomorphs of the feminine singular articlesla anduna.
The use of these allomorphs does not change the gender agreement of the adjectives modifying the feminine noun:el app única,un(a) app buena.
In the plural, the usual feminine plural articles and determiners (las,unas, etc.) are always used.
In practice, this rule is often not followed and the formlaapp is widely used.
