Albeit, caveat, awry, segue, haphazard, and facsimile are all pronounced weirdly and incorrectly for those who learned a lot of English by reading.

I suspect Trump is not really orange. I think he is white and he paints himself orange. I don't know why he'd do that, but it is very, very weird.

The website literally says:

Dutch kids learn it from parents & in school. It’s taught in drivers’ ed, and used to pass their driving test. It's been Dutch commonsense for 50 years.

I don't know how or why this is always attributed to the Dutch. I'm Dutch. We definitely did not learn this. Not in school, not from parents, not in driver's ed. We do not open our doors this way.

The thing is that all Dutch drivers are also cyclists, that helps a lot. Also, our infrastructure is very very very VERY accommodating to cyclists. Often bicycle paths are separated from roads,which helps a lot.

When opening doors, we simply look. There's a mirror very conveniently placed for the sole purpose of looking behind you. Use it. If you open your doors without looking and thinking, you're an idiot. None of that has to do with being Dutch.

Besides the dates, I also still don't know if 12am is noon or midnight. Do Americans know? Is there a problem with simply counting to 24?

'Meltdown' is his default state. It would be news if he had a melt-up.
