Well, Scheme has a bunch of syntax as well.

    (list '(1. . #\#)
          -5/6+7.s-8i
          `(1 ,@2)
          1@1           ;hmmm, no unquote splicing comma ;-)
          10#           ;surprised?
          (list #i+1 +1i 1+i) ;complicated or complex?
          #e-1e10i     ;Old MacDonald?
          "(* 9 10)" #())
...how many can you guess without running the example? (I checked it with Dr. Racket under R5RS mode)

I tried translating a couple of paragraphs and found that the article was mostly too abstract and specific to make it practical.

I thought one of the most impressive complete translations is the entire script of Monty Python and the Holy Grail (completed by jan Pije back in 2004). You can read it line-by-line with the English and toki pona texts alternating. I've read most of it and thought the quality of the translation was uniformly excellent.

Subpixel hinting mode can be chosen by setting the right value in your environment, for example /etc/environment or ~/.pam_environment

Available settings:

      FT2_SUBPIXEL_HINTING=0  # Classic mode (default in 2.6)
      FT2_SUBPIXEL_HINTING=1  # Infinality mode
      FT2_SUBPIXEL_HINTING=2  # Minimal mode (default in 2.7)

Same reason I still hate doing dishes at home after using a professional-grade dish machine at work for a decade.
