@Caam you’re welcome! I learned some new things while researching it too. I don’t remember ever learning about this in school.

@LIU 思考者和学习者 yep, I’ve been trying some different content. With the novels I think the level was too hard for some people and since it was a photo you could not use the translation features of this app. I might keep posting some of those excerpts again in addition to other content.
