When you prefer using English or Spanish Wikipedia to Polish one. Not only 'cause they have more articles. But just for keeping in contact with the language. |

When you read this and wonder if the "articles" pun comparing Polish to English and Spanish was intentional.

When you, mentally contemplating uvular fricatives as you walk to school, appear to be
insane because you slip every few minutes and actually drop one aloud.

When you carefully cut off the corner of a single-serving packet of matcha instead of tearing it on the indicated line so as to preserve the text on the back. Also, you're not even really studying Japanese, just trying to learn the pronunciations of the hiragana and katakana to be able to pronounce all the random signs and posters (and tea packages) you encounter on occasion.

When you come home after the second day of a three day, 8 hours per day exam in patent law and watch a Latin learning youtube channel to relax. Might as well schedule me for emergency slaughter now...
