There’s also a faster sense of done-ness with a phone call: the conversation is almost always over at the end of the call, whereas with something like text it can take ages because it’s so spread out.

Political correctness* was the caveat in the post

Yes that’s a good example too! (I don’t know of any language where that’s a possibility but I agree it’s similar)

The spaces are used for a reason

That’s the thing though - my hypothesis is that it’s based on what one is familiar with. There are languages/scripts where spaces don’t indicate word boundaries (e.g. Chinese), or that are rather agglutinative (e.g. Finnish), or somewhere in between (like German), or on the opposite end of the spectrum you have Hindi/Devanagari where a space and an overline marks a word. Totally understandable that it feels perhaps rot13-ish due to unfamiliarity but I would be surprised if native users of those languages share that sentiment.

Faye Wong, perhaps?

I heard if you don’t pinch them off then the plant slowly dies - is that true?

I find it depends very much on where you live. Traveling within the Schengen generally involves less time due to no passport control and even less if your airport isn’t a busy one. I can usually get away with arriving 45 mins in advance (sometimes 30) and I’m out of the airport 20 minutes after touchdown.

Edit: I do agree with your thesis though.

That should be in the title. Asia is huge.

What’s dumb about it?
