My young colleague; German, is massively into SE Asian skin care routines, particularly Korean, they have an attitude of preventative skin care routines, they start young with lotions and potions, keeping out of the sun etc, hence why they generally have good skin and look far better for their age than us Westerners as we act far too late.
I've moisturised my face daily since my early teens as I had very dry skin, I'm 50 in January next year and I'm only just stating to get very faint wrinkles on my forehead, no crows feet or wrinkles anywhere else on my face, people have asked if I've had botox, which I've not, I've always put it down to good genetics, my mum doesn't look 75 and moisturising since my early teens.

Manuel Padilla Jr,who played Jai in the Tarzan series that Ron Ely played Tarzan, according to Wiki.
He was ok imo, but although watched some episodes I'd got past Tarzan by then - 'cars' were now my thing.
To me there was only ever one Tarzan, the one who had the iconic Tarzan yell, that spine-tingling ululation echoing through the jungle: can be only forever associated with the best Tarzan actor ever, on the big screen, not small: Johnny Weissmuller.
Back to Ron Ely.
in the pic posted by LordGrover he's 81, someone mentioned he's now 85, in June he'll be 86.
Surprised he's not aged more drastically considering what happened to his family back in 2019.
If you don't know, his crazed son, Cameron Ely 30 yrs old, stabbed his mother, ie: Ron's famous ex-model wife Valerie Lundeen, 62, to death.
Cameron as said to have then phoned police blaming his father for the dreadful deed.
US Cops don't mess about -
Cameron was posed as a 'threat', and died after he was shot... many times.

Asians have always looked younger than their western counterparts, way before any skin routines came about.My young colleague; German, is massively into SE Asian skin care routines, particularly Korean, they have an attitude of preventative skin care routines, they start young with lotions and potions, keeping out of the sun etc, hence why they generally have good skin and look far better for their age than us Westerners as we act far too late.

I have the opposite skin. Really greasy, even now in my 50s - I can get a wet wipe and you can see the grease (doctor said it is access sebum), and I also do not have wrinkles, unlike my brother who is 18 months older and he looks like a shrivelled ballbag.
I don't think conditioning the face makes that much of a difference and as you said it is probably mostly genetics.

Why do people say that now instead of "Dead" or "died"?
He passed. Passed what, his driving test?
"They are dead", "He died" Is it somehow disrespectful to say it?
Because people just can't handle the finality. He passed. Passed what, his driving test?

They are dead. They died. They haven't passed to anywhere else.

"death," 1869, a euphemistic verbal noun from pass (v.) in such Middle English phrases as passing of death, passing of the soul (c. 1300). A passing-bell (1520s) was a church bell tolled at the time of a person's death.
pass (v.)
late 13c., passen (transitive), "to go by (something)," also "to cross over," from Old French passer "to pass" (11c.), from Vulgar Latin *passare "to step, walk, pass" (source also of Spanish pasar, Italian passare), from Latin passus "step, pace" (from PIE root *pete- "to spread").

Much closer to Pedantville I believe 
however they still get you to the same place if you are savvy enough to know the lay of the land.
It's not pedantry at all. Umbridge is just wrong. The person who used the word in the first place clearly didn't know the correct word for the situation.
If I say Ferrari race in blue and someone corrects by saying it's actually red, that isn't pedantry

Given that I was the one who actually made the simple spelling mistake whilst rattling out a quick reply, anyone reading said reply would have easily understood the contained meaning regardless, hence pedantry for someone to then make a post purely highlighting such a spelling mistake.
Nothing to do with colours of cars, or the topic at hand, so your post is even more of the same.
