• Linking to bid adieu to November

  
  Mr. Topp and the Big Bad Blog — Authority: 130
  I love my Roomba. Not only does it clean the floor, but it protects me from snakes. Scientists must now be on the lookout for fake conferences. Apparently the con artists out there have decided to aim themselves at the most skeptical group they could think of. Like museums? Like steampunk? Go ...

• MM Lee’s admission – a good time for govt to reflect on policy

  
  The Online Citizen — Authority: 555
  Andrew Loh When I was in primary and secondary school, Chinese class was always a struggle. I absolutely hated the classes. And when there was a test on a particular day, I would dread going to school. I could never understand why I was expected to learn those strange, difficult-to-write and impossible-to-read ...

Sometimes in a foreign language there is what you understand and there is what people are really saying…and you as a non-native ...

Any trace of Latinidad deems people as targets for varying forms of harassment ranging from traffic stops, to tickets, to jails, to beat downs, to deaths.

  Red Tory v.3.0 — Authority: 479
  This may draw flack from a lot of folks, but here goes… Stop already with this painfully forced bilingualism! Here, watch this example, and then we’ll pick up things after the clip. Look, we get that you can pretend to speak French (kind of… rather awkwardly, it has to be said — much in the same ...
