Priceless! 4 days ago

I came across the bumper sticker in the picture, and, naturally, I wanted to check how accurate it was. After a quick websearch, I found this site quoting well-referenced research:

Every day, almost 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes—one child every five seconds.

The ironic fact is that the site in question is Hunger Facts: International, “A Christian Voice for Ending Hunger”.

Note: the study quoted was conducted in 2003. As of 2007, the number of children who die daily of hunger is 18,000 and the number of children who die every day of all causes is 26,500

Learn a third language fluently
WHY?! 4 days ago

I’m a native Romanian speaker and I have near-native fluency in English. Why would I learn another language, fluently, when there are somanyother things tolearn?

English is the de-facto universal language. Live with it.
