Re: Me & My Interests

Phi, your proposal is commendable, yet it entails a substantial amount of work. Therefore, it is imperative that we deliberate on the rationale behind the aggregation of such extensive information. I agree about the scale of the project being quite daunting and that we should be as economical as po...

Re: Demonyms

Thanks Coco for the well researched and thought-out explanation. It's very interesting learning about the nuances of the language. From your citations, it definitely seems like FRYA.S , FRYAS and FRYA are used as demonyms in the original text. Unless it is a transcription error, the way that "F...

I would love it if the wiki included a section that had a comprehensive list of cited empirical claims made by the OLB, w...

I would estimate my Deutsch is around the CEFR-B1 level, although it's not something I'm actively studying these days. I chose to study German because that's wher...
