When Political Talk Goes Too Far At Work
Marcus Cole:
I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, 'wouldn't it be much worse if life *were* fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?' So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.

Let's say some groups of people live longer than other groups of people on average
In order to achieve equality the people who are in groups that live longer on average could intentionally make worse health decisions that shorten their lifespan on average
because it would be racist to suggest that the groups that live shorter on average should make better health decisions that raise their lifespan on average
If you try to raise everyone's lifespan regardless of group then you are a racist
@shortstories True I often figh with the and a/an. Because in slavic it does not exist too so I often forget it and for me it is waste of time.
I like when i learn russian they have it simple too.
Like On politik it would be translated He is a politician. So when I just do he is politician it take my heart away :(
He seems to think the definition is different from what I said but it is still different than the way duolingo uses words based on spelling variants of these types of words
Some of my previous comments about Y, G and J location words might have been wrong but Duolingo is also wrong
I maintain that I am correct to the best of my knowledge about the other points however

Here, (Over)There in Korean Explained Clearly!

Picture with Korean words and English explanation from first video link

Picture of other related Korean words similar to what I called
Y, G and J in second video link
There are a whole class of words with variant spellings on these used on Duolingo with slightly different spellings and meanings that I believe Duolingo gets wrong
He confirms my point that the words are based on the location of the object in three categories
1 Near the speaker
2 Near the listener
3 Far away from the speaker and the listener
Duolingo does not seem to understand this

This, That in Korean Explained Clearly!

@Stahesh
I would still say overall the Korean is very good
The entire first unit is in very honorific style for talking to someone older than you
You can also take a class for Korean people learning English
If you take this class then you will still learn Korean as they have you translate English sentences into Korean and Korean sentences into English
But It is in a tone like the tone a Parent uses to speak to a child
They do not use a neutral tone between two people of the same age so far
You can mark a word as plural in Korean
But there is no way to mark a word as singular in Korean without using the number 1
Any word without a plural marking and without a number could be either singular or plural when translated from Korean into English
Regarding Gender
The pronoun that translates from Korean into English as He can also translate into English as She
Same with ambiguity as to him or her when translating
The gender is unknown and not specified in Korean
In Korean instead of
this, that and those
There are three kinds of words
Y words
A word meaning the object is near the speaker
G words
A word meaning the object is near the listener
J words
A word meaning the object is far away from both the speaker and the listener
Y
A location near the speaker
G
A location near the listener
J
A location far away from both the speaker and the listener
Just so you know in the Korean on Duolingo which I believe is one of the languages you listed that you studied
It does not get the following correct
The use of the following English words
"a"
"an"
"the"
"this"
"those"
"these"
"that"
It gets wrong
singular vs plural
It gets wrong
masculine and feminine
In korean
There is no Equivelent to the English words, "A" "An or "The" in Korean
There is no way to mark words as singular
Pronouns have no gender
Interesting display of dominance yet restraint.
