Or, as millions of people have done, you could learn to read from right to left.

¿And don't you hate how US punctuation is at the end? ¿If you read an entire sentence, but you don't even know it is a question until you're at the end, then how do you know which intonation to use? ¡English is subpar and something should be done about that!

It must be tiring at work waiting for the clock to finally strike 00:5pm.

This was a civil fraud case so incarceration is not on the table. Just huge fines and the end of his company.

Jail is still possible after future trials though.

Be careful what you wish for. Houston is notorious for abolishing its zoning laws, which means that residential and commercial properties are haphazardly scattered rather than concentrated into distinct areas.

People never know when a CVS will pop up next door to their home. Now you know why they form HOAs.

The Supreme Court already took this case. And to everyone's surprise, Roberts and Kavanaugh sided with the liberals and shot down the practice of racial gerrymandering. So Alabama really is being told "no". Again.

Well, there is definitely an anti-assassination sentiment. Probably why Saudi Arabia doesn't get much love either.

"Very" unique indicates being unique in more ways and/or in more severe ways.

The term you're looking for is "very unusual".

Similarly, being "very pregnant"

LOL, ok now say to a pregnant woman, "I don't think you're very pregnant". Please report back to us with her response.

I didn't downvote, but nothing is "very unique" for the same reason that nobody is "very pregnant".

Either it is unique or it is not.

5% of the defense budget. Which is definitely worth it even for a 10% decrease, since the US usually has to spend more than its adversaries.

And Russian casualties are generally estimated to be in the range of 100K to 300K, which is more than 10%.

For comparison, there were about 50K Taliban KIA in Afghanistan, and the US spent a lot more money there.

They are fine with their jobs because they have other jobs that pay them.

Your idea would mean the end of professional musicians. Music performance would be mainly for people with lots of leisure time, something rich people would do as a hobby. Like playing polo.

If your job stopped paying you, and told you to rely on donations from your clients/customers, then I'm pretty sure you'd find a different job.
