Norse is old Norwegian/Danish kinda.

Norman is old French.

The Normans were northmen (aka Scandinavians) that were allowed to settle in the Normandy (north west France). (They were the ruling class, the inhabitants from before continued to live there).They then adopted the French language.

Out of the languages I know, non have the nonsensical letter-sound pairings that English has. French has some combinations you wouldn't expect (like eaux= o) but they are consistent in every word they appear. Irish also has some wild letter combinations, but I know to little about that to know, if it's as confusing as English.

To illustrate, I would say you could write the words above a lot easier and understandably:

Taut, thou, thaut, thru, thruout, thorou, tuff

Grammatically, English is pretty easy. But the pronunciation is so inconsistent, that it is necessary to hold spelling bees in school. My language doesn't need spelling bees for example.

What's the programming language that allows emojis as variable names?

Looked it up a little: it's all languages that support extended characters and not only ASCII. But it looks pretty unreadable.

Well, it's not cardboard, but I am absolutely fascinated by euroboxes.

A europallet is 1200x800mm.

Then there are euroboxes of 800x600mm, 600x400mm, 300x400mm etc.

They are stackable, reusable and recyclable and come in different types. Fully enclosed, with lid, with grid walls etc.

Machinists use them as toolboxes, bakers to transport bread and veggie vendors stack have their products on the market in euroboxes.

Then I misremembered. My bad.

I'm still flabbergasted that neither France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria nor Poland have Pfand (aka a money back deposit thing) for plastic bottles. It's such an integrated part of my life, that I wonder why other countries haven't adopted it.

Yep, replace edge with isOnGround or something

makes it (meaning the crust) soggy

Not really dripping with water, but it equalises the moisture between crumb and crust.

That's not a concern for wonderbread, since the crust was never crunchy to begin with.

If you leave bread fully enclosed in plastic, all the moisture from the crumb moves into the crust and makes it soggy. But it doesn't dry out.

If you leave it just open, it dries out.

That's why (real) bread is best stored in a paper bag or in an unglazed ceramic bread bin. Those two materials allow for a slow exchange of air, therefore keeping the crust crunchy and the crumb soft.

Calm down, Adolf.

Caucasian isn't a race either. We're all the human race.

My secret is deepl. I speak French, but flawfully.

Merde , you got me there.

Peugeot 208

J'ai moi-même eu une Peugeot 207 il y a quelques années . Le siège central à l'arrière était même plus confortable que dans l'Audi A5 de mon ami .

I love bread, that's why I am what I am. From France's best friend with the better bread.

Space before question mark: french confirmé

No worries lt;3

Cool, you can now go and tell your foreign minister, that they are allowed to call @NotTheOnlyGamer a slave owner.
