Interesting. Building something similar myself. Very interesting to see what people are cooking up for language learning using the latest tools.

I first read about this in The Emptiness of Japanese Affluence by Gavin McCormick. Really good read.

Frankly, I think if you're going to do something like this you're going to need to use well constructed critical reasoning items from graduate level exams like the GRE and LSAT.

I find the "unverified download" thing in Chrome so annoying, too. Remember when computers used to treat us like adults? I miss those days.

Source? I've seen studies that suggest the opposite.

I like the concept, but it doesn't work for me. I just see a red circle with a line through it when I hover over the text boxes.

I like the concept, but I'm not going to be reading Simple English Wikipedia.

It seems that you're not very familiar with what actually happened. The phrase "It's okay to be white" had become associated with white supremacists, And black people's responses to the pole had nothing to do with their opinions of white people as a whole. You, as well as Scott Adams, decided to misinterpret it. Scott Adams took things a step further and decided that he wanted nothing to do with black people on the simple basis of this poll, which is absolutely wild.

If you're studying Chinese, maybe you realized that Chinese writing works in a very similar way.

I'd recommend Careless People, if you haven't read it.

I had one of these break within a few days of purchase. It's a no for me.

I just released my SAT Writing textbook: https://www.amazon.com/Matthews-Guide-Digital-SAT-Writing/dp...

It took me two and a half years to finish. Now I've got to market it.

Very well said. There really should be a public option. Large scale PBS for the internet.

Recently I've been thinking about deconstructing a ThinkPad and putting the internals inside a MIDI controller. We're at the stage where VSTs/DAWs easily sound better than any synthesizer with internal sounds. But, it's a huge pain to carry a laptop and a sound card to a gig. When will someone address this?

I love this product idea and I will be buying one!
