This idiom works differently than you think. This thread https://old.reddit.com/r/EnglishLearning/comments/161uisc/what_does_it_mean_you_just_might/ Captures the basic meaning of the idiom "Just" in isolation can mean something different than when it's added to a phrase. Don't take my word for it though, Google "might just idiom" for more discussion. This is the thing about idioms, phrasal verbs and the like: they take words that have different meaning in isolation and by joining them alter the meanings of the individual words.

https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/may-just-might-just "Just" here is part of an idiom that conveys possibility and does not mean "simply" or have any meaning that suggests the problem is small. "Might just" and "might simply" do not mean the same thing in English.

This map is apparently from Wikipedia, and is based on a 1995 CIA ethnolinguistic map. The version here is identified as from 2007, with some changes made by wikipedia commons editors (visible changes in Abkhazia and other places). The changes are marked as disputed and unsourced, and it does seem like someone took the letters marking general presence of an ethnolinguistic group (indicating sporadic presence) from the 1995 map and converted those letters into solid bands. This does seem to be a dubious change, as I cannot find any support for this solid separation of groups in Abkhazia and elsewhere.

American customary units and imperial units both come from English units, so the US used various inconsistent English and other units in its early days. But the US never used "Imperial" units, which were not codified and put into effect in the British Empire until almost 50 years after the US had gained independence.

Great grandfather's sister's grandson is your second cousin once removed. That guy is the second cousin of one of your parents because they share great grandparents with one of your parents. A grandparent's sibling is a great aunt or great uncle to you. A great grandparent's sibling is a great great uncle or great great aunt to you.

Many, but not all, of the anti -pasteurization people believe that there is an invisible "life force" in the milk that is killed by processing. This is an old idea, but this unfalsifiable and unprovable "life force" thinking undergirds a lot of pseudoscience. People believe in getting energy aligned and unblocked and so on, and believe that drinking milk with mysterious life force is more natural.

Not in classical Sanskrit. Vedic Sanskrit had pitch accent, which had been lost by the classical Sanskrit era. English has stress accent. But many languages do not have stress accent, and either have pitch accent or syllables are not accented at all.

"Anglicized" is probably not the best way to think about it. The Latin letter "v" was pronounced "w" through the classical period, but had shifted to β or v (fricative) by the third century, long before English existed. V was pronounced v (voiced labiodental fricative) for many centuries. And though we do tend to give the classical period a lot of prestige, it was just one phase for Latin.

Perhaps the Giant London Flea Market will start a trend: https://www.queenelizabetholympicpark.co.uk/whats-on/giant-london-flea-market

A number of Slavic, Baltic, Norse, (and also Finnic languages like Finnish and Estonian) use some form of this word for market. It originated in Proto-slavic and passed through Old Norse into descendant languages.

The most interesting thing is that the root appears to have borrowed into Finnish twice, once probably from Slavic (as turku) and once from Old Norse (as tori).

It should be "after King Arthur had laid his sword down, he lay in the tall grass, resting" since "lain" is the intransitive participial form and "laid" is the transitive participial form. If he's doing it to a sword he needs the transitive.

This answer is spot on. I know this varies by state but in my state every intersection is legally a crosswalk, regardless of markings, and drivers are required to stop at them and yield right of way to pedestrians. This applies whether the pedestrians are in the crosswalk or appear to be attempting to enter the crosswalk. The area legally designated as crosswalk is the space between the stop sign and the road, and in the vast majority of cases in suburban areas is unmarked. There is no way in most of these that a driver will be able to see pedestrians or cyclists coming, especially from the right, unless they stop at that stop sign. The correct procedure is to stop at the sign, determine that the pedestrian way is clear, and then pull forward to the road. There's almost 1 pedestrian death an hour in the US and most of these deaths are avoidable from the driver's point of view just by following this and other legally mandated procedures.
