When visiting websites from Belgium, one frequently occurring annoyance is that websites will serve you content in French. This happens even when you're in the Dutch speaking region (this should be easy to detect since the ISPs are dif

I couldn't immediately find an image of that, but in cursive 'ij' would look quite similar to 'ÿ', I guess.

Those combinations are phonemes, nothing more. Addendum: The letters 'i' and 'j' look distinct (though very close) to me in that image. At first I thought it was just weird 'kerning', but the caption seems to s

As a native Dutch speaker I would disagree with what you wrote about the 'ij'-ligature. It's definitely not considered a single letter and I don't recall ever seeing it written as 'ÿ' or 'Ü'.

I was expecting the secret codeword to be 'preprint'. When I was in academia not too long ago, I would often ask authors for the preprint of this or that paper, and they'd usually send it back promptly.

I have lived in two developing countries. I would by no means dismiss the usefulness of a passport from a modern country.

The number of countries that you can enter without a visa might not be the best metric. For example, if you have a US or Signapore passport, you might be able to enter a lot of countries without a visa, but Brazil is not one of them. Brazil

That's true. At the time I was a fresh graduate so they wouldn't have been able to tell from my LinkedIn profile though. I requested a report and I will post an update here when I get it.

Interesting. In Belgium we use a version of AZERTY that's optimized for Dutch and French. Naturally, it works great for English too. That is one reason why the notion of switching keyboard layouts when switching between languages with

I'm curious. Might it be that the multiple languages you're thinking of use different alphabets? I ask because that's (in a way) a much simpler situation to deal with. If you're dealing with different alphabets then you

Would you consider integrals, powers, and fractions text? For readability, the usual notation uses two dimensions. They can be written in one dimension of course, but so can anything that would count as language (given that all informatio
