I made it halfway through the article but I couldn't stand it interpreting all instances of "kiss" as kiss on the mouth. Kisses on the cheek would just as well be written down as simply kisses.
- scintill76 5y agoDo you have specific linguistic and cultural knowledge of that? It doesn’t seem so obvious to me (a layman).

- ksdale 5y agoOr perhaps a kiss on the cheek wouldn't even register as a kiss and would be recorded as a greeting instead?
