You may want to prepare for some creepy posts (possibly including this one), because you're cute.

So it goes.

No stupid conjugation rules to worry about, and no exceptions to memorize. In English, the most common way to turn verbs into the past tense is just adding "-ed" - conjugate -> conjugated, turn -> turned, confuse -> confused, etc. However, there are a ton of words which do not follow this rule, like run -> ran, read -> read (especially confusing for non-native speakers, since the spelling is the same!), eat -> ate, etc. As a native speaker of the language, these rules are so natural to you that you probably would have difficulty explaining them to someone else, even though you've done it literally every day of your life since you were three years old. A non-native speaker, however, would have to memorize all of them.

Mandarin doesn't have any of these rules or exceptions, since it has no past tense in the first place, so conjugation at the least is indeed easier than English.

Do you have any interesting developer tools that you use for testing or debugging Dwarf Fortress? What kind?

Do you speak any languages other than English?
