Yes, and when write with a pen or pencil on paper it’s easier to smear your work as the writing hand is trailing, not leading.

Right-handed people writing right-to-left languages (there are a lot of them) can sympathize, I guess

I guess they’re trained on words, not numbers

I don’t quite get what you mean, could you elaborate further?

JREs, man providers, *roff, …

Arch does indeed have a special mechanism for Java, but Debian and Fedora have a general-purpose system (the same system actually)

Is Pacman still missing a proper alternatives system?

Not from this instance as well, but I think the distinction would be as to whether you think that Israel should exist at the expense of the Palestinians (not just Gaza and the West Bank, but the refugee crisis dating back to 1948 and possibly before).

If you recognize that both Israel and Palestine are already here, and that both represent national identities (not necessarily countries) that are, at present, as legitimate as any other one (regardless of their history), I think that’s just pragmatic and wouldn’t make you a Zionist.

Feel free to correct me!

Try that argument with your local topologist

relatively easy

Very incomplete list of things about English which are not easy:

• The sheer amount of vowel phonemes
  • French and German do “a lot of vowels” properly
  • Sometimes they’re diphthongs
  • Complete with arcane allophony
• Stress timing ⇒ vowel reduction, weak forms
• Adjective order???
  • Not actually difficult, it’s just weird that it even exists.
• Sequence of tenses
  • Actually might be worse than Latin
• The verbal system is messy, identical forms can specify different tenses/aspects/moods and can be treated differently by the syntax accordingly
  • There are somewhere between 2 and 12 tenses, and I’m genuinely not sure which is it.
  • English verbs are very expressive, but the forms are mandatory. Other languages also have a lot of markers, but they’re often optional.
• Morphology is pretty easy for anyone who speaks a language other than the famously analytic Chinese, I guess.
• Not technically a part of the spoken language, but spelling (at least three spelling systems not even trying to masquerade as one + GVS, also grammatical gender but only sometimes, e.g. blond/blonde).

Some things are not difficult, but I find them endearing:

• English is really afraid of hiatus and will do anything to avoid it
• The GVS messed things up so hard that most English speakers (outside of Scotland and parts of England and Ireland) can’t even borrow monophthongs properly.
• Do-support: to negate a verb, you need another verb, but the new verb has exactly zero meaning (but some verbs don’t require do-support).

Not contesting the practicality though, and I agree that “dumb” is meaningless when it comes to language.

It’s true that there is a very large transfer between violin and viola, but just the experience of playing multiple instruments, even if this similar, increases one’s value by a lot. Depending on the situation wherever you happen to be, demand for violists can be much greater than for violinists, so playing both rather than the violin alone is a big boost.

Any law people please correct me, but this must be less of a problem in civil law in comparison to common law, right? As all decisions are derived primarily from the relevant codes

Maybe impetus

Isaiah is Old Testament, it doesn’t refer to anything Jesus-related (unless you’re Christian and really love bending the text to your will).

Reminded me of this sketch I watched recently on YouTube

The upper system is left-handed, no way anything uses that. I’ve seen the same with the Z flipped in some video games and it’s not that bad

Does it work with SELinux though?

I’ve tried both Nix and Lix and ended up having to disable SELinux for both

264 and 330 (exactly) if you want to justly tune it

“People called Romanes, they go the house?!”

It’s kind of linear, in the largest element of the array. Just not in the length of the array.
