i think steadily recognizing words from letter sequences is very far from basic or intuitive for anyone starting out. Probably the most difficult step actually. Hence all these tricks like the cueing theory to get the kids to understand at

you're right. Only they have probably have the fullest data on how much crime is moderated or unmoderated on what messenger, the rest is speculation. He probably just got cocky and overconfident, thinking he can beef with the EU on the

when you are starting on day 1, isn't it obvious you don't know any written words and you have no skills to put the letters together, because you are just starting out?? Then saying "just start recognizing word as a sequence

there is no solution to this. If you want to do business in EU (for example, to be available in EU's Apple Appstore), you have to comply, otherwise Apple will be forced to kick you out, and if they don't, they will be harassed by
