The planes were a surprise

No worries, I appreciate the effort. I did go back and listen and they are indeed pronouncing sheí in the audio too.

I use a firefox extension to convert simplified to traditional, looks like it's open source so that may be of some use to you: https://github.com/tongwentang/tongwentang-extension.

Although there are some clashes that it does not handle, e.g. 隻 and 只 are both 只 in simplified, you just have to know which one it is from context, but the extension fails to convert to 隻 where appropriate.

Is it possible to add traditional characters for mandarin?

Also the pinyin for 誰/谁 is coming through as shuí, whilst this character has two pronounciations, I believe shéi is the more common one.

Presumably it's a random batch of words since you can run the test again. I wonder how much the word selection affects the outcome. I got 66,750 with 20/20/15/17/14.

I'm curious how the difficult is chosen because "obfuscate" was included in the hardest difficulty but I would not consider that to me a difficult word.

Also I found that some of the definitions were not completely correct.

Lies we tell ourselves about users.

LBC certainly falls within the "usual suspects"

Fun fact: octopus does not come from Latin, which would give the plural an -i ending. It comes from Greek, which means that if you want to be particularly correct about your plurals, then the plural is octopodes.

Such an interesting artefact just sat under some guy's barn... can't help but wonder how many more items like this there are out there, and how many of them we'll never find before they're accidentally destroyed.

I'm using uBlock, and I didn't see a single advert.

What makes a motherboard a NAS motherboard, precisely? I've got a decent Mini-ITX sitting around and I've been contemplating setting up/getting a NAS. Would be nice if I could re-use what I already have and save some money.

Very interesting. Almost feels like a cosmic implementation of "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

Am I missing something or is the author using dots for both breaking up large numbers and also for decimal points?

The Haskell looks much better, and I don't even know Haskell.

Surely "if you know Haskell it's easy" is equally applicable.

Really? Mine lumps together completely unrelated people whilst failing to group together the same person.
