The reason you can say "an American" has nothing to do with a vowel or not, there are just some demonyms that for some reason can be used like this, and some that can't.
But your explanation about why it is correct is bullshit, has nothing to do with "an" vs "a", the English language is just inconsistent as fuck and some demonyms can be used like this and some can't.
Finishing up the last touches to release: https://getkatari.app/ my japanese immersion app
Also working on https://www.kinoko.sh/. An agentic engineering platform built from the ground up for agents. Custom language and architecture and a layer of formal verification on top. Also working on a custom inference engine that produces well typed programs
There are different rules on scoring, Chinese rules don't care about stones in your territory. Japanese rules do.
From what the page says, this uses the traditional japanese rules (Stone Scoring)
I think by this point everyone that is learning a language knows that immersion is very important, however a problem I've had myself is that the content that interests me is beyond my reach, and the content that is within reach doesn't interest me.
This is my attempt at doing something to remediate that. You select the content you want, and I create a personalized study plan to learn the most important words to achieve a target % of understanding. Then I generate a short story each week for your particular level containing the new words in the context of your content.
The idea is to bring the content you want to learn to your level so you can watch what you want to watch.
So we would take in all items with that property to make the graph. Although we might have to deal with multiple roots.
There are also other interesting linking relations:
Comparing items ...
said to be the same as (P460)
instance of (P31) - (is an example of ...)
subclass of (P279) - (is a subset of ...)
facet of (P1269) - (aspect of .../ subitem of .../ a broader perspective on the same topic is offered by ...)
Item contains ...
has part(s) (P527) - (contains ...)
has part(s) of the class (P2670) (has parts that are instances of .../ some parts form subclass of ...)
Example:
Albert Einstein's brain (Q2464312) is part of (P361): Albert Einstein (Q937).
Albert Einstein (Q937) is an instance of (P31): human (Q5).
human (Q5) is a subclass of (P279): mammal (Q7377).
mammal (Q7377) has part(s) (P527): mammary gland (Q189961).
Game jams typically require games to adhere to a theme that is only known the day of, and the best entries will make a game specifically around that, not just adapt some pre-existing idea to it.
The themes are so open ended it’s very easy to adapt most game ideas. Games that win tend to be the most fun to play not necessarily the ones that fit the theme the best.
I've worked in 3 places that were fully 100% remote. I'm from Barcelona, ES. They are not the modt common but they do exist if you look for them and there are quite a lot.
For example:
* German is countable: https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/englis... * French is uncountable: https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/englis... * American is countable: https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/englis... * Spanish is uncountable: https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/englis...
