"Candor" is different than "honesty."

All this hurtling of Android apps' updating is off-putting for me.

Almost every week, there are more than a dozen apps waiting for me to give permissions for updates which are going to occupy more phone storage and RAM space.

Christianity defines that covetousness is not a virtue.

Instead, it is a sin.

The process of setting up a new Android phone with apps almost full of advertisements and bloatware feels almost like rigmarole, compared to that of setting up a Linux Mint computer.

Academic textbooks published in North America are apt to be overly didactic, as well as a little long-winded.

In most Western countries, many, if not most, husbands have become, are becoming, or will become unwitting victims under multiple collective forces which are not so benign to men, including the family court system.

The situation is actually bleak and going to bring severe consequences, for men, and women, as well as children.

Matrimony has been becoming an art, discipline, institution, and treasure to be massively lost.

Motor scooters are a sort of light motorcycles.

"On call" is very different than "on the phone."

I encountered a children's graph book that does not make sense, or even is outright stupid.

In the female authors' narration, the "very little red riding hood" emotionally manipulated a wolf and led him into the house of the teeny girl's grandma. And then she cried and cried, so the wolf tried very hard to please her. Then she fell asleep, thereafter the exhausted wolf, as well as grandma, fell asleep "happily ever after."

A wolf is a wolf, who eats humans and animals all the time.

What does the particular story book teach young girls to do in their future prime years during which they will pass by a"wolf" on the side of a road?

...

To recklessly and heedlessly lead a bad boy into her family's life while emotionally manipulating him?

The outdoor garbage chute looks intereting on those semi-constructed buildings, doesn't it?

North American mainstream media should publish more of men's diatribes, as well as gentler opinions, against the current family court system.

I was left with a deep impression by the excruciating inquisition near the end of the French film "The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc".

The word "platitude" is a little difficult for me to retain.

Google Inc., aka Alphabet Inc., has been swift to invest in technological trends.

Yippee! English has sooooo many words, and it will take me forever to learn them!

The word "fastidious" sounds interesting, eh?

Babbling springs are somewhat characteristic of many areas of China, I suppose?

Many people often wish to lead a sleek life.

However, that's only the appearance. A sleek life is not necessarily a fulfilling one.

Many Muslims come across as individuals who believe that his own destiny is already predetermined by Allah.

Destiny...

It seems that many people in the Chinese community, including some Hong Kong Chinese, don't know that Mr. Ka-shing Li (李嘉诚) is very philanthropic, who is a Hong Kong businessman and the long-time richest Chinese in the world.
