If I could remove a key from a full keyboard, it would be Num lock. Why does it exist? I can't think of any situation where you have a full num pad and don't want to use it.

In Spanish, "ch" and "ll" stopped being considered a single character for sorting purposes in 1994. In have some dictionaries printed before that date, and I find them quite confusing...

Your comment is correct. As far as I know, "x" still sounds /ʃ/ in Galician, Basque and Catalan. In Spanish, it became /x/ centuries ago, and the spelling changed to J/G. Nowadays you only see the X in old

> For that matter, humans have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs. Wouldn't an octal numbering system make more sense? Though for that we'd have to come up with new unit names near 2^3, 2^6, 2^9, etc that don't sound silly. Each of th

Interesting, thank you. Years ago I tried to learn Russian by myself, but it was quite difficult and I was too busy with other stuff. I hope one day I can learn it.

I don't think so. From what little Russian I know, the original is до свидания, with an O, but in most dialects an unstressed O is pronounced A: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_phonology#Unstressed_v...

Spanish is my mother language, I can confirm that is correct. Well, "piñón" can also mean pinion, as in gear systems, but the context should make the meaning clear. Likewise, "piña" can mean both pine cone and pineapple,

Your memory is correct. Fun fact: many Japanese people celebrate Christmas Eve by eating KFC, and Christmas Day by eating a strawberry cake. My understanding is that decades ago it was promoted as some kind of exotic Western tradition, and

Ok, then maybe you are a genius, because everybody else has told me how painful it was to learn all the characters. I'm going through the process myself, and while sometimes I enjoy it, there is no point in denying that it is way more

I totally agree with you. Being born in 1985, I never got to experience the arcade glory days (although I had my fair share of arcade fun), but my teenage years corresponded to their successors, the Internet cafés, or cybercafés as we calle

Dude, why are you so stubborn? Have you ever tried to learn those languages? Do you really think that learning 20~30 simple characters is on the same level of difficulty as learning 2000~4000 characters, some of them very complex? But sure,

I live in Japan, and every single Japanese person that I know, and a few Chinese coworkers too, have told me how kanji/hanzi is so ridiculously difficult to learn. I mean, native Chinese and Japanese speakers require at least 12 years

I'm not an expert, but I think a better solution would be to use a dual ported RAM that both the ESP and the Gameboy can access. The Gameboy has a dedicated memory area for cartridge RAM, A000 to BFFF.

The admiral was great; Michael and other characters crying/shouting almost constantly were not. They are supposed to be the best of the best, yet they behaved like whiny teenagers.

To expand on your comment, the ぎ after 継 is an okurigana, a suffix used to specify the pronunciation of the preceding kanji. Anyway, your comment really made me laugh, so please take your upvote :D

I'm not a native English speaker either, and my guess is that the poster is using the singular they, a quite recent trend which I find confusing as hell. So in this case is just a friend of indeterminate gender.
