This is genius! I love it.

If you're studying Chinese, maybe you realized that Chinese writing works in a very similar way.

That isn’t true.

It kinda is? Most Classical Chinese and Egyptian words follow the principle "deficient phonetic + semantic part", it's just that Chinese characters are split into neat squares because most Classical Chinese words are exactly one syllable long. But the general principle is similar enough.

I'd recommend Careless People, if you haven't read it.

I had one of these break within a few days of purchase. It's a no for me.


I just released my SAT Writing textbook: https://www.amazon.com/Matthews-Guide-Digital-SAT-Writing/dp...

Recently I've been thinking about deconstructing a ThinkPad and putting the internals inside a MIDI controller. We're at the stage where VSTs/DAWs easily sound better than any synthesizer with internal sounds. But, it's a huge pain to carry a laptop and a sound card to a gig. When will someone address this?


Can I run this on my laptop?


Yep!


I'd love to see this for English grammar


Well it was founded as a non-profit


Well, technically they still haven't profited har har har
