Hey everyone! Unfortunately, I have some bad news.
With this update, we will have to shut down @thelangbot. We are very grateful for all the support we have received and hope you can understand. Please feel free to follow me on my personal account, @maxwelldemaio 💖
The new @TwitterAPI Basic Access for $100 per month got added in to the Dev Portal, and it's absolutely miserly.
10,000 Tweet Monthly cap on Search & Stream That was previously 2,000,000.
Endpoints that had hundreds of calls per 15 minutes now have barely dozens.
It's useless.
Keeping an eye on the updates from the @TwitterDev team and @elonmusk. Will post an update if the new terms of Twitter's API will allow us to continue!
best,
@maxwelldemaio
TIL the most mind-blowing Turkish idiom, courtesy of one language school (not on TT, can't give them credit)
If you want to say something happened before someone was born, you can say "sen portakalda vitaminken", which means "when you were a vitamin in an orange" 😳

If we accept languages as they are we would have less problems with them. For example Spanish has masculine and feminine forms amigo or amiga, hijo or hija etc. All languages have peculiarities, the sooner we accept them the sooner we can enjoy them.

How is it that "morbide" in French means morbid, but "morbida" in Italian means soft!!! 😱 What happened in the evolution of this word between languages??? 🧐😳🤣🤣🤣

In the early stages, you may use your native language to translate your thoughts into the target language, rather than “thinking fluently,” and that is fine.
What is important is that you make a conscious effort to use the target language in your thoughts as well.
