Great project! I grabbed the book; look forward to reading it. A small tip - I note the files don't automatically trigger a file download in my browser (Chrome), instead trying to display inline in the browser. Look into the following

It's more than difficult - it's impossible. The number of exceptions to every supposed rule in English is ridiculous. There is no way to learn the language except by absorption and rote. That's sort of why I support octopi .

Honestly, as a native english speaker who is usually a nazi in spelling, grammar and pronunciation - octopi sounds most intuitively "correct" to me. Octopuses sounds awkward and inconsistent with idiomatic English, like a non-

I also suspected this is fake. There's just something about the setup - the too-perfect lighting, the beautiful shiny robot, not a real-world flaw to be seen. It sucks but I have to agree. Without corroboration, I judge this to be fake

What definition are you using of "urban"? From Wiki: > The U.S. Census Bureau defines an urban area as: "Core census block groups or blocks that have a population density of at least 1,000 people per square mile (386 per s

The most recent figure I could find for US corporate debt is $51 trillion: http://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/20/crexit-warning-as-corporate-d... The USA's most recent GDP is $16.7T, so slightly over 300%. Do y

3 minutes of research shows that in the USA it's over 300%. What was your point? Edit: I was totally, utterly wrong. I looked at global corporate debt. Mea culpa!

Something of a tangent to what you said, but I see other parallels between current events and 1999 - this is what happens when unsophisticated investors gain sharemarket access for the first time. It happened in the late 90s in the states (

From the vibe I got living there, having the locals "accustomed" to westerners in the context of US military presence is probably worse than not being accustomed at all. Attitude to the US presence in japan is generally ambivalent
