I think people are missing that this is the 2nd most taught foreign language, not the 2nd most taught language. So there's the native language, then the most taught foreign language, and then the 2nd most taught foreign language. I'd imagine for quite a few countries that English is the most taught foreign language, particularly ones that heavily rely on tourism.

Edit: just noticed it even says that in the text on the right.

I was brought up before showers were something that most people had installed, and we just washed at the sink with a flannel cloth. We washed face, pits, bum, and feet twice a day, and only had a bath once or twice a week. I still just do a wash of the important bits at the sink with a cloth if I'm feeling very apathetic.

You think pronouns are stupid? How do you feel about verbs, and adjectives?

Did you just 'splain colonisation to a native person?

I'm a bit confused by your comment and what you mean by "a tribe here or there has been through it" and that it's unknown territory? It's sparsely populated, but according to Wikipedia about 500k people live there, and they're mostly in urban areas. Surely the lack of data is more down to the political disputes over who governs it? I'd imagine the locals are reluctant to share information with the Moroccan government who they see as the occupiers.

Highpurrbolley.

I pronounced it hyper-bowl in my head for a loooong time until I had to say it out loud one time and got laughed at.

Most of the funerals I've been to over the last 10 years were for heavy drinkers. At least 3 (including my dad) alcohol was the direct cause of the death.

He said it was his mental health, and he could have no desires or feelings for someone. He said I was amazing and that he'd never met anyone remotely like me.

However he's now told me he's seeing someone, so I think he's full of shit.

I think some instances remove swear words so you just see 'removed'

Long comment chains of song lyrics where each comment adds another line. They can fuck right off.
