  • In Korean we have these conjugated forms. They both sound the same:

    1. 나아 [na.a] (from 낫다) be/become better
    2. 낳아 [na.a] (from 낳다) give birth (to a baby)

    So when given A as an example:

    (A) 감기에 걸렸어요. I got a cold.
    (B) 빨리 나으세요! Hope you get better soon!
    (C) 빨리 낳으세요! Hope you give birth soon!

    For some reason Koreans across all ages write C instead of B by mistake. It became a national joke at this point and some do it ironically on purpose. I used to teach Korean. Imagine my face every time.

    There are more but I'm on my phone. Will do more later.




  • Iraqis need, like any other people, basic infrastructure like to make their society work. Propaganda or not, a school is a school. Children and adults getting educated and having chances of getting better jobs, instead of falling into traps like the so called Islamic State that brought only death, rape and suffering.

    Now if the Iraqis themselves want to argue if they prefer watching their schoolchildren singing in English or Mandarin, that should ultimately be the Iraqis decision, not ours.

    Looks interesting. The first glance it looks like "Yet another company trying to make Email what it isn't", which means breaking all compatibility with existing mechanisms (e.g. IMAP) at cost of getting locked-in into their own ecosystem (unless you pay premium and enable IMAP back like Proton does).

    This is why while I want companies like Proton and Tutanota succeed, I don't use their email products for business purposes.
