Tanzanians pride themselves on everybody getting along.

I like when the gender changes what the noun is. Here are a couple Spanish examples: la cometa = the kite (feminine) or el cometa = the comet (masculine) la papa = the potato (feminine) or el papa = the Pope (masculine).

Swahili has 18 genders, though only 16 are in active use.

Don’t let seeking perfect, or even good, be the thing that stops you. If you get your meaning over the net in another language, you’re speaking it. Not well, but you’re speaking it. Then it’s all about getting better. Enjoy the little wins and try to learn from the losses.

And dihydrogen monoxide! Hydrogen dioxide, H2O2 or hydrogen peroxide, is unstable and dangerous.

Velociraptor = positionraptor/time. As written the raptor cancels and you get a scalar not a vector, simply speed.

Edit, there is no operator before the raptor so probably best not to cancel.

Scalar: speedraptor = distanceraptor/ timeraptor

Vector: velociraptor = positionraptor/ timeraptor

Without a direction it is a scalar not a vector, so it is speedraptor.

Classic example of the awfulness of a belief system that allows people to do whatever they want because all will be forgiven.

You don’t seem to realize that you just agreed with me that Congress didn’t write the Constitution but rather by the Constitutional Convention. Further, the Constitutional Convention was endorsed by the Confederation Congress, a body which no longer exists.

You need to do more than pick up a book. You need to actually read it.
