As a non-native reader it seemed pretty clear to me as well. I guess knowing some French and having read a lot of fantasy novels helps.


Hey Amit! I remember you and your articles fondly from my RotMG days.


This was sadly deprecated on Android: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12099

It was such a huge loss for me that for at least a year I used the outdated pre-Fenix. Now they still work on Desktop but they just stopped working on Android (althouth the bookmarks itself are synced-up)


Given the context, it's a bit ironic that you fail to spell "Colombians" correctly . I mostly agree with your assessment though. For most latinos it takes several years working full time in English to get to the level you mention.


That was autocorrect doing its thing; I'm a former English major and I know how to spell "Colombians."


I've spoken highly of the free(mium) Toshl on HN before. I've been using it for 4 years on my own but it seems they have a solid tutorial for household expenses: https://toshl.com/blog/track-family-household-expenses/


It's futile to ask for things to be removed from the lexicon. Language advances and those 16-year-olds will decide how they speak now and in the future.

I think this is already outdated but a fitting response to your comment could also be "ok boomer"


"ok boomer" is also broken, particularly since it neglects to address the ways that younger generations are all equally narcissistic, just in different ways (plus it's the wrong generation).

and its not "fitting" it is just another useless "zinger" that suppresses thought.

yes, i'm suggesting that the human race attempt to evolve past the use of language constructs that shut down thought.

yes, i'm aware that i'm just yelling at clouds for all the good it'll do.

and actually i'm suggesting that language DOES evolve, but do it into something better. not just every generation inventing its own thoughtless zingers, which is just masturbation applied to evolution of language and thought.


The customer review blurb on the site is the best I've seen: "... has nothing in common with a good service and especially a high seriousness" - AfD Lower Saxony


"I'm helping out with a curriculum to help slum kids to (web) program in Thailand in English, but in a way that they can learn English as well"

Is there somewhere one could read more about this? Sounds nifty.


Hi Max_Mustermann, it's all in a mix of google docs and jsfiddle snippets. Once it's in a distributable format I will be sure to show HN. If you're keen to help flick me a message on twitter (even to just help structure things :) )


How do you define "hacker"?


Pointing out wrong "facts" that are used as arguments isn't relevant?
