If possible, I would ask the person who goes by that name. If not, I’d pronounce it as well as I could, then apologize if I got it wrong.

The ears. And whiskers, can’t forget whiskers. And chasing things. And knocking things off things. And purrs. Most of all, purrs. Here’s cat poem from 1700’s England: bit.ly/cat-jeoffry

Humans. Humans do that. They use words, signs, and signals, and other humans either understand the representations or not. The key is that people making representations have to agree what represents what. Problems happen when they think they do but they don’t. Which is often.

This happens quite a lot when we read things from the past. Ideas or words can reflect a previous time’s understanding and this if often different from our own. It can be very hard to read at times, but can also be important to understand the current moment, the past, and how we got to where we are now.

Either is fine. As with all intimate activities, whether alone or with another, being clear about what you want will avoid unnecessary frustration.

IDK. But in Italian, that would be dov’è mia moglie? One of my assistants had to dredge that phrase from memory (before the days of Google Translate) to get sympathy from a gun-wielding member of the carabinieri while parked in Rome where he shouldn’t have parked. A great example of the value of learning a foreign language!

Are you referring to Air Traffic Controlling or something else?

Great question! I’ve watched students study with music (through their headphones) and also ask my helpers and me for silent space so I guess it depends on which has helped you study better in the past. I suggest try both and then decide. As for snacks, my Post-it Note diet keeps me full and energized to answer questions like yours so I recommend it.

The Eagles have 1/3 down so a 3-peat is possible
