- I've been told in school that English has spelling rules. Turns out that's bollocks. It's a logographic language. I can't wait for the US empire to fall so we can all switch to Castellano (unless of course we get Mandarin instead).
- I started reading a lot of English because found tons and tons of material on the English web. And then on closer look this English web turned out to be utterly dominated by the US. Want housekeeping advice? Well we have these funny cardboard houses, just drill a lot of holes and then replace entire walls because it's cheap. Also everything is measured in stone-weights and horse-lengths. Now when people on HN complain that other people assume everything is in California by default, I laugh heartily, tingling all over with schadenfreude.
