Re: The Twitter Files

I don't really get it. Please correct me if I'm wrong in my following assumption, as I am not from the US and don't know much about US laws.

(and yes, she was working in a small shop before covid, but I doubt there was paperwork involved) I left Cambodia in 2019 and went back to Germany, where I or...

My wife needs a proof she didn't pay taxes

Re: How is it for YOU returning to live in the west after several years abroad?

You spoke a lot of truth there, Ghostwriter, the last detail being the filter! :hattip: One misses so many of the small threads that make up the cultural net while abroad.

And nobody cares, nobody understands, yes. How could they? :shrug:

Re: Do you conjugate verbs around Cambodians or just use baby talk?

Is using Khmer grammar (no conjugation, less prepositions etc.) in English akin to "baby English"? Does that imply that Khmer grammar is infantile? Khmer grammar is very different from English grammar, but I wouldn't call it infantile, because using it in the correct way beyond 'pidgin' K...
