You have to love the tenacity by which MS holds on to their standards. They were low in 1850's, and by god, FOR god, they shall low remain!

I'm sure I'm not. Just wanted to give some scale of things.

To be fair, it's not that bad, but that being said, we have more trains than assholes over here in the Union.

Kortland argues that slavic was the last one to sprung off indo-aryan tho. The Leiden guys seem to be pretty keen on indo-uralic as well, so I don't really know how to process it.

Grouped within Irish. There's about 40 thousand languages and dialects not represented and that's just the extant ones. Relationship between Scottish and Irish is comparable to somewhat late-ish latin and arbitrary early Romance language. Distinction can, and has been made, but it isn't useful in every situation.

Well, there's a thing called purchasing power parity. In the last 20 years, regardless of what's been going on, it's been more or less doubled if not even more in pretty much everywhere in the Baltic Sea area. And I'm not including the Baltics or Poland.

Sure, the ex-dictatorship countries are lagging behind but c'mon, what did you expect? That's what conservative policies cause. Takes time and effort to fix up a fucked infrastructure.
