The Japanese are unique in many ways. It’s hard to overestimate how structured the nation’s life is.

It has more to do with written grammar. I would expect even an American grammar checker would correct could of to could've or could have.

The way people speak varies from place to place in the British Isles.

European emergency number is 112. Which is the International Standard Emergency Number. Which should be promoted across the world.

Australian Emergency Number is 000, in New Zealand emergency services are 111.

In Britain 111 is what you would dial for NHS non-emergency help.

So pitty, they made many movies, the last I saw was about a real couple;
A book was written, recent translated in romanian, no memory for names..., my faught. The names are in the book, a letterbook, like Die ..des jungen Werther, and, how I understood, Hiro picked up a flower on the mountain, their holy mountain.

English pilot in Africa, dropping down an egg, but...he has forgaten about no heat on sand, so, in bitter hunger the egg goes lost

The english pilot over Himalaya, a free... american, an italian, an other..., still-only the couple knows their battle, their join, not joint...
Never dare ring a deer's dear!
Love to my family and fully respect in front of real love, real persons.
