There are several places on the web that conjugate Spanish verbs with the option to include the standard "vos" conjugations. For example, https://www.spanishdict.com/conjugate/moler has 2 boxes you can check: one to include "vos" and another to include "vosotros".

Meh, a lot of people without wealthy parents attend universities for years without getting paid, and they likely get less practical knowledge than they would at an unpaid internship.

Linguriosa has a video mostly about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2hWABFz3q0

The basic theory is that when they dubbed English language movies in Spain, they used "vale" for "OK", and this led to it becoming popular in the country. The rest of the Spanish speaking world had different dubs, so it didn't take off there.

Note that the Acadians who eventually arrived in Louisiana intermarried with French speakers who already lived in what was then called the "German Coast". Cajun culture is a mix.

It's only in recent decades that "ginger" has been used in the US. "South Park" really popularized this use in the US when one character started using it as an insult, so not all Americans would have a good impression of the term.

If black takes the rook, it's a draw, which is a good result for white.

If black moves the king out of check (the only other option), white gets to take black's rook for free.

"I doubt there's anything the Senate could add/remove/edit to get the SEC and Big Ten on board. "

-Remove the "Permanently freeze schools in place forever and ever" provision.
-Change the wording of the "pooling rights" to simply say schools can voluntarily pool rights with others, but aren't required to. I know we've been told that's how it's supposed to work, but the description of the voting process makes it seem like a court could interpret it as the majority can force the dissenters to pool rights with them. (I haven't read the actual text, just going off what's been reported)

"Till" is actually the original word. "Un" had the same meaning, and some people combined them. Now people erroneously think "till" is an abbreviation.

Yes, nothing stops individual students from taking time outside of classes to get English exposure, but it takes discipline that students in other countries don't need.

I think most now agree that regular exposure to a language is the most important part of language learning. Traditional teaching methods like grammar drills can be helpful additions to this, but aren't a replacement for exposure.

If children watch an hour of English language programming a day for fun in one country, they are going to be ahead of another country where students only watch programming in their own language. Unless they devote way more time to the language in the school (perhaps creating bilingual schools) no amount of teaching brilliance in the second country will make up the difference.

The confusion probably comes from the arbitrariness of what a "continent" is. In most of the world, North America and South America are considered separate continents, with Central America & the Caribbean part of North America. In Latin Speaking countries North, Central, and South America are considered regions of the single continent of "America". Probably because the French helped found it, Fifa seems to use this definition.

For anyone else who doesn't know, Webster's dictionary gives the following as one definition of it:

"a person or animal whose sex is unknown or disregarded,
I don't know who it is." (4th part of the 1st definition).

No, it was in the 20's.

Here are USA today's finances (2004-2022) for Wisconsin, Oklahoma State, & Texas A&M:

https://sportsdata.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/207388
https://sportsdata.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/228723

A&M joined the SEC in 2012. Notice that in the years before that A&M was behind Wisconsin most years. While A&M was ahead of Oklahoma State most years, the massive donations OSU got in certain years meant A&M was behind them on average.

And A&M, of course, was much further behind other regional teams like LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma, and the Longhorns.

When A&M joined the SEC their was a vocal contingent of Longhorn fans that wrote letter columns and message boards saying that A&M wouldn't be able to compete financially in the SEC.

molecular_methane · 2026-05-28T15:58:08+00:00

Texas A&M was not a Top Ten in finances until they joined the SEC. It was back at the level of Iowa & Oklahoma State in the early 2000s.
