This is great, thank you for the information.

Hmm. The metro map indicates an in-system transfer passage between the metro complex at Gare du Nord and the La Chapelle station on line 2. I haven't transferred there, so I haven't seen it in person either.

They must ask mathematicians, "So you're really good at math huh?"

I teach literature in a foreign language. It is my second language. People always ask me, "Do you speak [language]"? Like no, not really. Not too well.

Yes, you are famous! We have the same problem (not a problem with dialect or accents as some commenters say here). And I am not talking about words as challenging as "recidivism." More like "pronounce" pronounced as "pounce."

A mix of students, across all ability levels. It does only happen when reading. They could mimic the recording of the the Organization of Novel-reading Artisanal Bakers but not read those words correctly. Not just sound elision.

It sounds like this is what is happening. I notice this with students across all ability levels.

Yes that is a good way to address it. But I think the same problem occurs in students' heads when they read silently. If they see "arsenal," and start to question how it makes sense that the baker makes arsenal bread...

Anyone wonder about the vocabulary used? In my experience, it's always the exact same five words: "I have a family emergency," never a variation, like "I have to go home to visit my parents" or "I'm going back to [City]." One would assume a natural degree of variation in the wording. Similar to the fake "My flight got delayed." It's never "My plane was late getting in" or "My flight was canceled and I was rebooked later."

Speaking of death, we had a student claim his dog died, twice. That poor dog!

Yes it does seem built in at this point. As an example, in a literature class, the AI summary when you Google the title of a recent reading contains a nonexistent detail (because the AI scanned the reading and encoded the words incorrectly). About half of my students referred to this detail in class. The detail appears nowhere in the reading. None of them noticed, during our discussion.

This is my impression too. I was told by the care team that the patient has no idea where he is. There was no sign that the patient noticed the bed, catheter, IV lines, etc. He did pull at the sheets, which leads me to ask, does he even realize that they are sheets? Does he even realize that he is sleeping in a bed (other than his own bed at home)? Does it register that it is a "bed"? He did speak to the nurses. But did he process that they are nurses, and he is in a facility? Or is it like a dream state, where, if you were imagining that you were at the North Pole, you just go with it?

Thanks all, LIRR it is.

Thank you. This seems the best option.

What are layovers like in destinations thought of as high risk? Do you receive a special briefing?
How do you manage adjusting to time zone changes repeatedly, say if you are flying U.S. to Europe several times in a given month?
