Housing ASL with foreign languages makes sense. Despite the name, the grammar has little to do with English. I'm pretty sure it's based off French sign (and thus French) and was made by some dude who was either Fench or loved French.

Hell, it's apparently considered a creole of French Sign.

But Wyoming doesn't actually exist.

Does anyone else remember a graph where OP tracked their heart rate while in a cab ride to the airport with their girlfriend?

I distinctly remember it because I thought it was so bittersweet, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

It is ridiculous that Spanish isn't required in this country, but especially in border states!

Ah thank thank you. My observation is still that the gap between capacity and attendance is the biggest insight. So if the x axis was % attendance, you could compare the sports more easily.

Texas allows not only ASL but certain computer programming languages as well.

Texas also allows you to learn certain computer programming language to suffice the "Languages other than English" requirement. Or American Sign Language. Or to test out of the credit if you're bilingual (or more languages).

All dilute the number a bit.

It also comes with the cost of a decreased English vocabulary compared to monolingual kids of the same age. The gap closes by adulthood, but there’s an argument to be made that a lot of schools need to prioritize English when you consider how poorly their students perform in reading literacy.

To most people “made in China” is synonymous with cheap and poor quality

69 applications, nice.

I once read that children of immigrants tend to have a poorer grasp of both languages because they learn the reading and writing and grammar in school while speaking their native tongue at home but not learning the grammar and such as well.

I mentioned it to my friends who were the children of Mexican immigrants, and they both felt that it was pretty accurate. One said that she didn't feel fluent in English or Spanish. Spanish was her home language, but she couldn't read or write it well and wasn't good at the grammar because she didn't study it at school. She learned English at school but didn't speak it at home and didn't have as much practice at a young age.

My other friend also agreed but did feel fluent in both. She said her parents made her take after school Spanish lessons so she would learn to read and write it as well as the grammar. She also said her parents put her in other extracurriculars that made her practice her English as well. She felt like other 1st gen Americans that didn't have those experiences struggle with both languages.

Agreed. When I was in school in California a foreign language was required from grades 2-10, but looking at this chart, I guess it wasn’t a state requirement?

Doesn't bupropion give you any side effects? It's mainly used to treat smoking habits and depressive disorders. How did you start feeling after you started taking that medication?

The countable ones are.

The parking lot is absolutely countable is my point.

Yes, I’m on a low dose antidepressant (bupropion) and have talk therapy about once a month. I started medication about a year ago, and therapy late 2019

"Ghosted" LMAO. Those bastards

Yeah I get it, but if you want to count tailgaters and people near the stadium for college football, you'd have to do the same thing for every other sport. Those numbers are uncountable.

I'm curious as to the retention of foreign language skills for graduating seniors in New York.

Sure thing. Do you take any medications to treat/mitigate your condition? And what about therapy?

I think course requirements are probably a bigger factor. In New York you need 2-3 years of foreign language classes in order to graduate high school, and all of the state colleges require foreign language credits.

Do you not know what the Axis powers are?
