There's a quote I've come across before, never make fun of someone mispronouncing a word in English, because it's a sign they are a reader. I was in my 30s when I learned "ennui" was pronounced "on wee" ra

We don't use most of them because no one could learn them all. There's more than 100,000 hanzi recorded in Chinese. Some quick googling suggests educated Chinese people know 8,000, and the average Chinese person knows around 3,500

I'm not aware of lower HHI people moving to and praising Texas, nor have I witnessed it. What is happening is wealthy Californians moving to Texas, driving prices of homes up, and pricing out locals. I don't even know how you have

I've driven back roads in Ireland. Super messy and chaotic. I was still able to use a map to get to my destination.

People with my HHI level don't experience any of the negative effects of Republican policies except for the ones externalized to the entire USA. And people without my HHI can't afford to leave. You might as well wonder why people
