In Spanish the idiom "Salud, dinero y amor" (health, wealth, and love, in that order) is (very) commonly used when talking about what's important in life. I wonder if that had an influence in the results for Spain, which seem

The announced new incremental reading feature doesn’t seem to be incremental reading as implemented in supermemo, no? How do the articles come back to your pile, and how do you extract the information from them? The way it’s explained it s
