seventeen is said as ten-seven in French.
Belgium's got it, though: soixante, septante, huitante, nonante, cent
Sorry I mistook you for a Canadian. There were just a couple clues pointing in that direction. I totally get you though, loving or hating a language isn't something rational; I used to have a strong dislike for Spanish for pretty irrational reasons.
If you like rougher languages, you should listen to some Québec French, then. There's actually a song about how it sounds really different from France's French: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgiNoNqYXMA
Most Québécois would pronounce it just like Anglophones. I don't see how that's a trick question.
Pour un apprenant anglophone, par exemple:
- Les objets inanimés genrés
- Les lettres muettes en fin de mot (s au pluriel, e final, etc)
- Les différentes façons d'écrire un même son (é, er, et, ai)
- Les différentes façons de prononcer une même lettre (c, s)
- L'énorme quantité de conjugaisons de verbes possibles
I guess I have my answer ;) I don't know Russian but I know enough Ukrainian to know you're talking about French and Italian, lol. And I know barely enough German to know you're talking about learning languages (Sprachen).
Not quite sure what you hate accoustically about French, though... The "r" sounds? I guess they're very different from most other languages, but you seem to like German... If you're comparing to Spanish (among others), I guess the overall stressing of sounds in a sentence is pretty different, too.
Also, what kind of French did you have to learn? France has a very different sound from Québec for example... Altough if I look closely I see you're on the sh.itjust.works instance and you mention having to learn it in school, which tends to indicate you're Canadian. I guess hating on French is par for the course, then...
Tu détestes le français spécifiquement, ou juste le fait d'avoir eu à apprendre une autre langue?
Le français, je peux comprendre un peu, il y a quant même plusieurs spécificités étranges à cette langue. Ce n'est pas pour rien qu'on passe plusieurs années à l'apprendre avant d'éventuellement passer à la littérature. Je crois que les cours d'anglais langue première font cette transition beaucoup plus tôt.
Détester le fait d'avoir eu à apprendre une autre langue, là je ne comprends pas du tout!
They already do: Ford has the Mach-E & F-150 Lightning plus a bunch of PHEVs, GM has (had) the Bolt, Stellantis makes a few PHEVs among which one of the the very few cars on the market that can carry 7 passengers on battery power (the Chrysler Pacifica) altough that one is made in Canada, not the US.
Oh, and all of Tesla.
A 100k mile used car is already near the bottom of the depreciation curve, you probably sold it too cheap. Adjusting for inflation, $10k 10 years ago is $13k today. Covid did a number on the auto industry so all car prices skyrocketed, but they're starting to recover: your hypothetical is only 15% higher when you adjust for inflation, which looks about right.
Cheap new cars don't exist anymore because everyone want to buy fucking luxury SUVs or pickup trucks to drive their kids to school. It has nothing to do with EVs; we actually see this trend on the EV market too: GM abandoned their best-selling EV (Chevy Bolt) to instead focus on a bigger SUV (an electric Equinox, IIRC).
Just got a 30, which apparently is in the 26-32 range for Asperger's. My wife keeps telling me she thinks I have it, looks like she might be right, lol.
I went to Kamelot's show last weekend, if you don't know them definitely check them out. Opening act was Ad Infinitum, I didn't know them but I was blown away! Melissa Bonny is an amazing singer.
Man, you're in a politics community, left and right is like basic knowledge. I'm happy to educate, but did you even google it? If not, do that first and then I'll be happy to help clear stuff up, but please put in at least a little bit of effort.
Looking at the drama that's currently going on in my small village, NIMBY is a hell of a drug. Not sure how we can regulate that.
