My handwriting is absolutely horrible so I'm not a "writing enthusiast". Still, I love rollerballs so much. Water-based ink IMHO looks much nicer and is easier to write with. I do buy cheap Schneiders off Amazon. Not sure if

"Albeit" was the one for me. After 20 years of speaking the language, I realised it's not "all bite" but "ahl-bee-eet".

I believe you're missing forest for the trees. Some other commenters in this thread actually gave better explanation but think practically about this. The prosecutors are not stupid. They have to come up with charges that actually stic

It would be totally justified to cap it at 10 years in this case, provided she's forever banned from being an executive in any company. Not sure if it's compatible with US laws though.

Seemingly it's easy to reach the middle class, or even upgrade into upper middle class (assuming you started with middle class parents). But then there's this big gap. And people in the middle are squeezed from the both sides.

I have no experience with trying to get into US but I know the situation of my friends who came to EU. Generally you can forget about it without a good degree (e.g. Eng, Msc or MD). Of course you could also come as a student and finish your
