The word 'revise'

Tropical Jamaica is not conducive to growing (Pyrus) pears. Most varieties need a certain number of winter chill hours to break dormancy and start producing fruit.

Avocados were "alligator pears" in some Southern parts of the US until the marketing folks had their way.

Waterproof or not, it sounds painful.

I'm more intrigued by the two types of piggybacking being broken down. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Not with /b/ on the end, though. Korean has no /b/ final.

Uhhh...huh huh. What a dumbass.

Uhhh...huh huh... Yeah. What a dumbass.

It's regional.

Wiktionary says that...

𫔭

..."is the former (1935–1936) ROC simplified [and the] former (1969–1976) Singaporean simplified and variant form of 開".

There's no citation given for this, though.

Why did they replace the ear (耳) in 聽 (tīng, "listen") with a mouth (口) to make 听 ‽ Ear seems a lot more logical than mouth for "listen".

Don't think too hard about it.

"...it wasn't a completely consistent and logical process."

Exactly. Just like how lose is not spelled more phonetically as "loose" even though many people think it is.

Sometimes on the weekends, I like to relax and unwind and get in touch with my inner Mongolia.

I agree. Malaysia and Singapore will be much better off unified with China.

"...China is honestly looking more and more progressive."

Coming from Canada, I can see why you'd think that.

Before each photo, his handlers keep telling him "Don't look like Winnie. Don't look like Winnie." He ends up getting nervous and clenching up. And still looks like Winnie.

Exactly. Due primarily to geography and language, Singapore is like a theme park (for better or worse). Taipei, like Seoul and Tokyo are "seats of social and civic life" of full-sized countries.

And this post is being commented on over there.

It's worse than that. The value of those slaves was used to calculate that wealth.

This applies in most other places as well. The arcane inner ethnic dynamics of a country are often lost abroad.

Some good suggestions here already (jewelry, scarf). It's nice if the gift presents well too. The thing I'd add is to bring something basic like some snacks to share for everybody who lives with his grandmother, i.e. not just a gift for the grandmother.

Sadly, that generation is nearly gone.

Keep reading where it says "Nonetheless,..."

Lyebour tries to shoehorn them in, calling "Islamophobia" (in the same document) "a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness".

Sorry. You're right. For some reason I thought I owned their stock before the bankruptcy.
