Yes, this isn't necessarily wrong but more accurately describes a temperature so it's confusing to hear "I didn't like my soup because it was too hot." Uhhh.Man, I hate that one so much: it's a huge failing in the English language. Both of the adjectives used to describe '매운' (spicy, hot) are also used to describe completely different flavours that often accompany foods that are '매운'.I feel that it's dumb to have to use an entire phrase (hot and spicy) to describe such a basic thing as a common flavour. Can't tell if serious or just Kyndo being goofy and hyperbolic...I'm not sure I'd call a language having multiple words for the same thing a "huge failing," but different strokes, I guess.

Already preparing myself for the sweet nectar of Nyquil.We must praise.Also, it could be because moms are scared about the high dust levels, and not because their kids are little disease monsters. But who knows.Yes, except many of them come to my desk and say TEACHER I AM SICK and then proves it by coughing all over me. Ew. Gross. Get the sanitizer spray bottle.

The soup at lunch today smelled like dirty sea water and wet dog.

Quote from: Mister Tim on March 27, 2017, 02:54:23 pmI'm not sure I'd call a language having multiple words for the same thing a "huge failing," but different strokes, I guess.It's not so much that one meaning has multiple words (which adds a lot of tasteful flavour to a language, especially when it comes to poetry and literature), but that one meaning has multiple words which are shared by related but very different meanings.Imagine a hypothetical language where the word for 'blue' and 'green' was the same. Moreover, imagine that there were also two words for 'blue', but that the second word was shared by the meaning 'purple'.I feel that that's just sloppy coding.And by 'hypothetical language', I mean Japanese (for the first part, at least).

I just finished my ham and cheese sandwich:Homecured hamhomebaked breadhomemade tomato relishLearn cheesemaking is my next goal.

They are as good any I've had in or out of Korea, although aside from Imsil Cheese I can't say I know of any other domestic cheeses here. The guy was trained in Switzerland and couldn't have been nicer. Perhaps he offers courses (or apprenticeships). http://sncheese.com/https://sncheese.modoo.at/Map: http://naver.me/FujvlPWI
"Your next class is a class that none of the Korean teachers can handle, even the strictest Korean teacher can't handle them. So I won't be coming to this class with you anymore, none of the other Korean teachers want to be with you for this class either. Goodluck." Teacher then leaves the class, and says for the rest of my time here, won't be helping me with this 1 class >.<Also, done 2 hours of work only to get some bizarre saving error, that wiped all my work that I had done. >.<

You could also take it up with your POE, if someone working there is the helpful type.
