The pros and cons of studying language
This cartoon is a bit outdated by now. January is the time for thinking about these things, not February. However, I could not post it in January, because— Oh, you probably all know why by now.
Things that are slightly interesting that I forgot to say
So after Wednesday’s long, rambling, text part of the post, there were still several things that I’d forgotten to say.
