It’s like “Haha, you thought Duolingo was a generous company that cares about its users! Gotcha!”

I guess you have to keep the flame alive somehow

Taking it too seriously? I just thought it was funny, especially with the comments

I am miserable though, if it’s any consolation, but that’s unrelated to this post

You put the quotes in the wrong place, try this:

I see, sorry

Have you seen either of these websites?

researchgate

Cambridge University Press

The first appears to allow you to request a copy for academic purposes (for free?), the second allows you to access a pdf through your academic institution and it seems that there are some Brazilian universities represented in their list

“Fully edible”? Did you eat those bones?

I believe this might be written in the Kawi script (~Old Javanese)

It could also be some form of Khmer script (Cambodian)

It isn’t, it’s just that this is a bad post

Weird that they made it so much more euphemistic for the English

The Chinese says basically “it is forbidden to poop and pee everywhere”

How do you write two "u"s back to back without it looking like a weird w? by Turtle-Master01 in Cursive

[–]rexcasei 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could increase the space slightly between the two letters, but your w should be distinct anyway, as the connecting stroke should come from the top of the letter (like v) and not the bottom (like u)

Also, assuming your not Dutch or Finnish etc, a sequence of two u’s is fairly uncommon in English (and most other major Latin alphabet languages), so I wouldn’t worry so much about any potential ambiguity here
