Commissioner for the Luxembourgish Language: 'The Luxembourgish language is being used more than ever'
  • Yeah, sure. That's why the very same article quotes the Commissioner stating that people learning the language often don't find anyone speaking it to actually practice.

    "used more than ever" is just a statistical lie. It's based on absolute numbers but to be able to actually use a language, it's the relative numbers that count, i.e. the proportion of Luxembourgish speakers among people being here day to day (600k + 200k frontaliers). That proportion has been dwindling for a long time. And it shows.

    (No, I don't vote ADR but I'm fed up with the gaslighting nonetheless.)

  • What was your worst tilting session?
  • As a kid I wasn't too bad at chess but stopped playing. Recently, i.e. some decades later, I created a lichess account and due to some successful tactics and a bit of luck I won my first three games and my (provisional) rating shot up to around 1900 and I was quite surprised and happy.

    Afterwards I had the expected losing streak taking me down almost 500 points in only a handful of games...

    All is well though, I'm studying a bit and am steadily climbing and should reach 1600 soon.
