Not a teacher, but my mother is a retired professor.

It would absolutely work on a large percentage of students, especially the type that are so lazy they are plugging their assignment into an ai. She retired in 22 and had students that had never used a desktop computer with a mouse and keyboard, only phones, tablets, and ChromeOS laptops. Text formatting, beyond the very basics of bold and colors, were a new concept for them.

I think they are referring to the movie, which (I believe) did not have a laugh track.

If you can find it there was a DVD release of the tv series where the laugh track could be disabled. It’s so much better.

The Dutch word for ‘potato’ is ‘aardappel’ which translates literally as “earth apple”

They’re just not the same for me, unfortunately. They have a place, but I prefer reading.

I just wanted to be able to read a book without (possibly) straining my neck :(

What a weird thing to say.

There have actually been three popes from Africa! Though the last one was pope from 492 to 496. Not 1492… 492.

I totally agree with you though, I just had to "uh actually’ a little because I think it’s interesting.
