I am a great fan of his work.

HL Incorrect Quote #100
*in the Room of Requirement*
MC, bursting in: I finally did it!
Sebastian from the sofa: Did what?
MC, holding up the Field Guide: I finally found all the pages!
Natty, looking up from her book: THAT'S why you've been casting Revelio everywhere?
MC: Yep! And not only that, but I also found all of those Demiguise statues!
Poppy, while petting Highwing: ...is that why you've been taking cat naps all around Hogwarts?
MC: Yep.
Ominis, from a lounge chair: For the record, sleeping on the floors of Hogwarts are not as bad as you would think.
MC: Oh, and I found ALL of the Astronomy tables!
Amit, by a telescope: You did?! I hope it wasn't too dangerous...
MC: Nonsense! I've dealt with a whole lot worse than some mongrels and spiders. This was a piece of cake.
The group:
MC: And don't get me started on those bloody Merlin trials... But I did all 95 of them!
Sebastian, horrified: 95???
MC: Yes! It was not worth the pints of coffee and tea I downed, but I have done it all!
The group:
MC: I need to sleep. *keels over onto lounge*
The group:
Ominis: The more I hear about what MC does, the more concerned I get.

Born 100 years ago today, the world-shaking Judy Garland (Frances Gumm, 1922-1969). Poor Judy never even made it halfway to 100; she was famously killed by the very business that elevated her. When I was a kid, the age at which Garland left us, 47, seemed plenty advanced. Now that her daughter Liza Minnelli is in her mid-70s, you realize what it might have been like to have basked in her presence…

Oh, I think I must terminate this blog soon.
Hear me out, the following reasons are my current reasons, all relating to Duolingo, not this blog:
The recent laying off of translators in favour of AI.
Poor quality lessons.
Reliance in meme status to keep face and relevancy.
Termination of critical courses to focus on the Big Five.
Inaccuracy in many lessons.
My hyperfixation is dying.
Numerous other reasons to leave to a higher quality learning app, not one that’s just a translator.
Please let me know your opinions on the situation.
