The fact that far too many people cannot recognize fascism unless it looks exactly like Nazi Germany is very dangerous.

Migrating populations bring with them not only new forms of art, technologies, and words but also introduce various animals and seeds. The arrival of Muslims in medieval Spain was not merely a propagation of a new religion; it also introduced a new fruit known as “al-barqūq", which translates to plum. It’s noteworthy that Arabs adopted the term from Greek, and Greeks borrowed it from Latin. That fruit was apricot.

La pregunta “¿Sabes cómo funciona el parquímetro?” ya es más frecuente que el “¿Tienes fuego?”.

Si a esta respondía “No fumo”, a la nueva digo “No uso coche”.

Es una cuestión de hábitos saludables. Podría quedarme en un “No”, pero considero importante hacer saber a la gente que, en efecto, se puede vivir sin coche como se puede vivir sin fumar.

I'm getting more and more irritated by the usage of "you guys" to address people - which is unfortunate, because I hear it a thousand times per day,

Whatever happened to:

"Y'all"
"You folks"
"You people"
"You peeps"
"You fellows"

?

I sense an illustrated article coming up.
