You should host the internet.

English isn’t serving you well. You should learn Chinese.

Are you having a problem learning Chinese? You chose Cantonese? Wrong dialect. Should be learning Mandarin, that will solve your issue.

You should just learn Chinese.

You have a sufficient ability to learn Chinese, you learnt how to speak the language you’re currently using.

Learning takes time, but me suggesting you ‘just’ learn Chinese isn’t stupid or unreasonable, especially as your inability to speak Chinese is limiting your audience and career opportunities, and not serving you well.

More like moving to France. For me it wouldn’t be an issue. My french isn’t bad and I learn languages quickly.

I assume that’s not true of everyone, just like everyone isn’t great at PC stuff.

Buying a house costs so much money and time that most people … Suggesting FOSS to replace “whatever commercial software they use” is the polar opposite, in that it’s literally free

Suggesting people ‘just’ buy a house is unhelpful, because it assumes they have enough money to do so.

Suggesting people ‘just’ use FOSS is often unhelpful, because it assumes they have sufficient computer abilities and/or have the time to learn how.

Some kid who’s just started writing his thesis and enjoys fiddling with stuff? Sure, recommend LaTex.

Some overstretched parent of two, who gets home at 8 and just needs to edit a powerpoint for a presentation at the end of the week? No, suggesting they install a piece of software, something they’ve never done before, and learn to use this piece of software they’ve never used, to finish something that needs to be done by the end of the night, and that they’re almost certainly going to be using in an office (ie. windows/office) environment? Not helpful.

Internet Explorer it is then!
