Cuneiform is wild. I did a semester of Akkadian on my year abroad and it was very cool, but even people who have spent their whole adult lives studying it still can't read it easily because of how convoluted it is. We had to learn to read something like 60 'basic' symbols for the exam (although we still got a cheat sheet in the exam), which were just consonant-vowel symbols, but there are so many symbols with so many readings to learn, you would have to dedicate your entire life to it.

I know I'm literally taking the bait with this, but the argument about saying it's 10s in Celsius Vs it's 70s in Fahrenheit makes no sense, because you would just say the number or high/low/mid 10s and that tells you everything you need to know.

Do you suppose they have Lancashire style yoghurt in Greece?

I enjoy the posts! Never actually been in a 196 community, here or on Reddit, but I'm all for it
