I'm not Korean but seeing that said of the Hangul example definitely made me pause - I doubt Koreans think of that example as a single grapheme (open to correction), though it is an excellent example all the same since it demonstrates

There's a few elements to understand here: 1) In general, in the open-source community, there's a LOT of JS frameworks and many of them have caused developer frustration. This has lead to people being generally more skeptical of A

Ah! I think you're right - I misread. Probably (slightly) less interesting in that case, but still pretty cool.

The completion rate sounded more a reflection on cat owners (well on citizen science in general) than on cats.

It confirms that cats like boxes but also posits that cats the reason cats like boxes might not be for physical touch / sensory reasons since they select fake boxes just as often.

Great Britain is the name of the island - this comment is about islands.

That seems correct in theory but it is inconsistent between islands - I suspect it's to do with adminstrative levels differing between different nations. e.g. With the first example - Isle of Man - you won't see the same happen wi
