When I started my phd (in a different country, during late covid times) my only collegue who would have sat in my room always worked from home. It wasn't very fun at all. Well, very few people came to the office anyways, so I just had to try and figure out everything by myself, eat lunch alone, etc. etc.

I am so much happier now in a 4 person room where I have 1-3 collegues to talk to depending on the day.

I might be the only person who prefers the original

People are very reluctant to admit they're wrong in general. If you then have an emotional connection to the topic, even more so.

sound is vibration

You are so close. bzzz is not any closer to the buzzing sound than the japanese buu

Do you still have native-level pronunciation and grammar skills in Cantonese? Forgetting words is one thing, that happens, and words can be relearned. I've lived abroad for 5 years now in my 20s, and even I've lost some vocabulary in my native language.

If you no longer know the grammar or the pronunciation well, then it's a more legitimate question if it is your native language anymore.

Either way, you are some sort of bilingual. In fact, some people grow up like that where I come from: with two native languages, one of which is oftentimes stronger / more eloquent due to education, social life, etc.

Pitkällä jänteellä ammattiliittojen aseman heikentämisellä on vahvoja negatiivisia vaikutuksia. Yhdysvalloista voi katsoa mallia, siellä liitoilla oli 60-70-luvuilla vielä suht merkittävä asema, ja sen myötä työntekijöiden oikeudet olivat ihan kohtalaiset. Sittemmin liittojen alasajo on johtanut työntekijöiden oikeuksien radikaaliin huonontumiseen.

Broken record?

This made me look up "whole word reading", and it just made me irrationally angry. To be fair, English isn't my native language and I don't have a recollection of learning how to read, but "whole word learning" sounds insane. But like... Why would you do that if you are using an alphabet?
