Better is learning to fake neurotypical in an excellent way.

Even faking is exhausting.

I just transplanted 7 redbud seedlings into pots.
They sprouted uninvited in me garden.
But this pleases me.
I'll plant them out in the more distant grounds this fall.

AI might have solved the problem of my wife's computer not going to sleep. One advice was to run a powershell command which returned the printer. Of course I'm going to unplug the USB cable and see if that's it. If so, I bug the manufacturer on Monday.

So, I learned today Duolingo doesn't know the difference between British and English, and for Japanese, for the word アイスクリ-ム, the word for ice cream, it left out the クリ-ム.

You mean "British English" and "American English" (Indian English and Scots English are different.

Tomorrow I finish katana lessons.
Next day I move on to Kanji and grammar.
みなさん is absent from my dictionary. I was honestly surprised to find it had アイスクリ-ム to look that up find out which source is wrong.

Well, I was actually wrong. Like crow and raven (カラス), foot and leg (あし), Japanese seems to not discern the difference between English and British. Don't tell tje Scots. And for the sake of all things good don't tell the Welsh.

I've poked a bit at Russian and Spanish, learned a deal of German, moving along with Japanese and have mastered English.
German is by far, no contest, no question, no doubt, vastly superior to the rest. Sound the word out and you actually can spell it, rigid consistency, adjective endings that can help reduce finicky punctuation and what seems to be a reluctance to have polysemous words. Other languages can learn a few things from it.
