My point is not about how case is meant to be used my point is that it is very easy to make a mistake that is difficult to spot. I think it makes a lot more sense to the case insensitive, and force different names to be used.

I feel the same way about programming languages. There is no way that “User” and “user” should refer to different variables. How many times has that screwed people up, especially in a weekly typed language?
One of the many things that I feel modern versions of Pascal got right.
Famous people take out those kinds of insurance policies, or say that they have taken them out, in order to get attention.
The Japanese government wants people to choose citizenship by the end of their 20th year, because 20 is the age of majority in Japan. But if you don’t say anything, they won’t ask, and you can keep renewing your Japanese passport along with your other nationality’s.
I’m a Canadian, and I was married to a Japanese woman. She was on the family registry, and our children were, but I was a comment. Way to show a commitment to treating all people equally, Japan!
I would imagine that it also has to do with the family registry. If a woman marries a man, she is taken from her own Family Registry and entered in her husband’s. I would imagine that upon the husband’s death nothing changes for the wife, but she has the option of returning to her own family registry.
I’m not 100% sure that this is how it works, or the reason for this termination, but it seems like a valid one.
The “Mission” paragraph above the highlighted text is even more ludicrous!
I think that’s part of the puzzle is definitely that small children don’t get embarrassed or ashamed if they make a mistake. Adults and older kids do, so they stop trying or they limit themselves to what they know they can do well.
I went to a double feature because I wanted to see The Tin Drum. First I had to sit through another movie I had never heard of that sounded really corny: Runaway Train.
Starring John Voight and Eric Roberts, and with a screenplay by Akira Kurosawa, it was extraordinary. Certainly not just a cheap action flick.
I’ve been using this for about 3 months. I would estimate that my dog walks are now about twice as long as they used to be. I don’t really enjoy walking, but this gives me just enough incentive to do it everyday and, if I feel like taking a shortcut, taking the long way instead.

The chainmail creators for tge Lord of the Rings movies made so much chainmail that they were their fingerprints completely off.
As someone who self identifies as on the spectrum ( I’m over 60, so I doubt I’m going to be tested, but I have many – but not all – typical autism traits), I would say that it’s true for me. I have never been close to people, even my own family. I’ve never had a very good friend, and when I move away from people, I typically don’t keep in touch.
Foe example, both my parents died in the past 2 years, and while I feel a sense of loss, no strong emotions. If I lost my wife or children, I think I would continue without feeling significant trauma. I know that I’m supposed to be devastated by those kinds of losses, but it just doesn’t happen. I don’t really have strong attachments to anything or anyone.
I don’t think I’m a bad person, it’s just the way I’m wired. I don’t like to see people suffer, and I have a strong aversion to conflict, so I don’t believe I’m a sociopath.
So count me In as one of the people who believes that autism can be related to a lack of empathy, based on personal experience.
I would guess that I’ve been seeing variations on that sign for at least 10 years, maybe 15.
That is completely terrifying. You must be spending a large part of your life desperately dealing with medical bills and trying to juggle the unreasonable requirements of the various parties.
And of course, having health insurance through an employer binds you to that employer, so you are less free to switch even if the conditions are otherwise deplorable.
I’m just about to move to Quebec, which is based on the French Napoleonic code rather than English Common Law. I’m not an expert, but I understand that the French system does not rely on precedent in making judicial decisions, but everything has to be codified in the law.
Anyway, another one of the legal differences between Quebec and other provinces in Canada is that mandatory arbitration clauses are illegal.
The medical system may be imploding even faster than the rest of Canada, and my rights as an English speaker may be stripped from me by the time I move, but they do have some protections for individuals.
Thanks for the information! I thought it was more uniform in the americas, and usted was mostly used in Europe. I guess I will just have to listen to the people around me and try to do what they do.
As I understand it, in Latin America, usted is very rarely used regardless of the relationships between people.
I think that you are reading too much into it. The reason they vote against the public good, like universal healthcare, is because they are paid lots of money to do so.
