Over last 3 years I went up from earning 7k to 13k (my local currency) and I feel like I can afford less than 3 years ago.

Yet people are using it wrong and don‘t care if it‘s wrong. Here the languages could diverge or the majority overrides the minority.

In Turkish we have Ğ whis is a soft G. It's almost always silent though. Like the word "dağ" (mountain in Turkish) is pronounced like "daa" and the letter actually becomes noticeable when you say something like "dağa" (to the mountain)

I don't think that is faster. Also, they're along about it being pronounced properly, like double-u.

Right, but the letters in Spanish have NAMES. That’s why it’s called Dos Equis beer. Equis is Spanish for X. And “Equis” has two syllables.
