Me in the break room stopping the microwave before the beeps:
Here future microwave user, have these free nine seconds I’m leaving you.
Me finding the timer is not cleared when I want to use the microwave:
Ugh, now I have to press the reset button before I can enter the length of time to warm my lunch. Who was the accursed person who left time on here?

Yes, and it’s very phrased based, so you sort of absorb the grammar without a lot of explicit rules.
Same with consistent pronunciation in Indonesian - it’s so much better. I feel sorry for little kids learning to read English and getting told to ‘sound it out’. Sure thing, which of the five to nine sounds shall I use for the letter ‘a’?
Lots of good mentions here, but I’m not seeing my fav, Smack the Pony

This, or two turnbuckles joined at the top point with a couple of links of chain.
I read somewhere that GoPros and other action cameras are one of the least used purchases, so I figured “that should mean there’s plenty on eBay”. So grabbed up second hand bargain, played around with it for a couple of weeks, bought some extra batteries and other accessories, and since then it’s sat in the cupboard except for a single occasion.
Turns out you don’t need an action cam if you’re not getting any action.
I don’t sew, but a follow several people who do (for vintage and modern clothing) on Instagram - just to emotionally vampire off their irrepressible happiness when it all comes together and they make something that comes out as great as they imagined (lots of “and it has pockets!!!” moments) or they master a new skill they had been struggling with - like sewing button holes in denim or whatever.
It’s not for me, but I love the obvious satisfaction and joy other people are getting out of it.
