It's like going to a botanical garden here. 소나무/Pinus tabuliformis 대나무/Eremitis parviflora 은행/Salisburia adiantifolia WTF am I looking at?
And shame on you for not recognising a ginkgo when you see one!
Quote from: kyndo on September 06, 2017, 01:11:29 pm And shame on you for not recognising a ginkgo when you see one!I know what all of these trees are, I just think it's stupid to name them like that. Like, I'd never seen a gingko tree til I'd come here. So if I was only here for a few weeks and read that, I would have seen a gingko tree without even knowing it. Life would pass me by!
Quote from: flyingspider on September 05, 2017, 02:05:34 pmI've been trying to buy Olympic tickets for an hour now, and it just says, ""좌석 배정중입니다." I'm not sure if the seating actually is in progress or the site has just forgotten about me. Update: After two hours I have a ticket for figure skating and for the opening ceremony!May I ask where did you buy the tickets from? I'm also interested in potentially attending both the opening ceremony and one of the figure skating events.

How much were those tickets?

Or find a word so scientifically specific that the majority of English speakers have never heard it used in a conversation with a non doctor. One tried to tell me she had Chondromalacia patella the other day (I had to google it to find the term again). I told her "knee problems" or "knee pain" would be something better and easier to say but no. Naver wins again. She can't even say it, she'll just type it out and be like "this!" and expect someone to be like "oh yeah I know what that is!"I think this week has just been especially bad for people not trusting my word choice o.oIt's like going to a botanical garden here. 소나무/Pinus tabuliformis 대나무/Eremitis parviflora 은행/Salisburia adiantifolia WTF am I looking at?

You lost me...GUFFER, MAKE THIS THREAD ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL PEOPLE!!Showing a picture that some people might or might not recognise is of course communicating in a medium everyone recognises - a photo. Just as If I asked everyone on here whether they knew who the Fonz was, English speakers would understand the question, even if they didn't recognise the name. If you are advocating that we make the subject matter more accessible to everyone, that's another issue.
Latin plant and animal names are common in gardens and zoos regardless of local languages.
my landlady complained to my CoT how messy my room is because she had to enter to fix my toilet. Like, wtf, does it matter? Because of that my CoT felt it necessary to remind me that I need to clean the room before I left.
Wow. You must really love you some Olympics.

Because of that my CoT felt it necessary to remind me that I need to clean the room before I left.Nasty.I've known "people" like you ;)Like in the states, your landlord has every right to demand and expect that each tenant will maintain the property.Consider yourself lucky that your landlord hasn't moved to issue you a written notice.We are slumlords in the states and one of the biggest issues landlords face is tenants that fail to maintain clean and sanitary living conditions.When renters, like you, fail to keep a place clean, it attracts rodents and other vermin.We have never had to issue a "comply or quit notice", but your landlord would have every right to issue a notice to you.Shame on you :)
I don't like nosy landlords. My landlord contacted my CT to tell her I was using a lot of hot water. So my CT asked if I had another person living with me or not...It's not that I wasn't paying my bill, I was, it was just a little higher than average. I didn't know what to say because the awkward part of it being that my bf WAS spending a lot of time at my place and it could have been a reason for the higher bill. Not going to tell my CT that though!It's possible she was just concerned if there was a leak or something but for my CT to immediately bring it up as "are you living alone or with another person?" was weird. The landlords also go through the garbage to an extreme extent. I posted about this a while ago, thinking maybe it was some homeless person going through the trash, but no it's my landlord and maybe her husband opening up everyone's plastic waste bags and re-sorting them. Feels like an invasion of privacy :/
