In Cambodia coagulated pig and chicken blood are common, especially in soups and rice porridge/gruel. I eat it daily. Pig blood has a firmer texture and a more neutral taste -- it's comparable to tofu in both regards. I strongly p

It can be done quickly and accurately. Check out Peter Norvig's implementation of Viterbi algorithm for text segmentation. Segmentation is typically used for scripts of languages like Thai and Khmer that don't feature word boundar

I wouldn't worry too much. I was very late learning to walk among other things and a doctor told my mom that I was "not exactly gonna be playing outfield for the Yankees". No Yankees yet but I ended up an all-state athlete, p

I'm sure you're aware of this, but the high demand from foreign language students is likely because US colleges often have a foreign language requirement. At my college it was four semesters, which is pretty common. The effect is

That sentence was fine. The relevant concepts here are preposition stranding and pied-piping . These are not "mechanical transformations" in the sense you mean -- there are certain constraints on when a preposition can be pied-

International shipping is much riskier, so people are usually advised to only order domestically. Certain countries are known for stringently checking international packages -- Australia is at the top of the list, though the US is tough too

I did that basically, but I saved up enough to move to and live comfortably in SE Asia for at least 3 or 4 years. I spend less then $400 a month, so maybe this lifestyle is not for everyone, and it's certainly not feasible with a famil

Adverbs and adverbial phrases can move pretty freely in English. These all sound fine to me: we are going to go to the airport by bus tomorrow we are going to go by bus to the airport tomorrow tomorrow, we are going to go to the airpor

It's good practice to check your intuition on things like this against a searchable corpus. According to http://corpus.byu.edu/coca/ , "most wicked" just barely edges out "wickedest" in terms of

Studying another language, especially a radically disparate one, reveals nuances in your native tongue that are hard to come upon otherwise. If you accept even a weak version of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, then it's desirable to be awa

I am not following much of what you're saying. I think you are deeply out of touch with what it is that linguists actually do -- this has nothing to do with the "needs of professional linguists". If you don't standardiz

My point is that if you think the rules we learn in school about language are the same rules that allow us to communicate and understand each other, you're failing to realize the massive complexity of language. As for those "bi-&q

The rules you've consciously learned about language constitute a tiny fraction of the rules that govern our use of language. Many of them ("don't split infinitives!", "no prepositions at the end of a sentence!"

Do you know where the pink coconut water comes from? I drink it most every day straight from the coconut or poured into a plastic bag, and it always looks clear as water.
