No, although I subscribed the first time. I read it here ;-)

Hebrew has a vocalization system to signal it, though (for educational purpose, for example).

Thanks, that post was fantastic. Having the arabic words in larger font size would have been great, though - really hard to look at them and spot the differences in that size (and zooming all the time is annoying).

This is something I find on all kinds of Arabic sites (including news outlets, corporations, and governments), as well as signs and print in Arab countries - the default font size for Arabic is generally (to me, as a recent student of the language) illegibly small.

People just get used to it, I guess.

Yea -- when we have arabic text on Quizlet, we override the font to this:

font: 2em 'Al Bayan', Nadeem, 'Simplified Arabic', 'Arial Unicode MS', sans-serif;

Nice design! The examples colorings look a bit too much like done by an illustrator though, is this targeted for kids ?

Thanks. It's targeted for kids of all ages.

Interesting - bit close to Russia, though ;-)

Nice, thx. Looks pretty easy (not sure how complicated or detailled the verificion of the individual points would be, though).

In Hong Kong, it's basically 16% income tax. No sales tax. No capital gains tax. There's little you can deduct.

It's my understanding that most of the governments money comes from, what is essentially, property tax (I think technically you can't own land in hong kong and it's sorta rented out by the government, but I think the more I'm typing the further away from the truth I'm getting).
