If you learned whole word reading, you can read every language whole word.
If you know the words.

Hebrew (at least historically, no idea about right now) and Thai for instance have no spaces between words.

Also it is a silly misconception that people who learned whole word reading can not read letters and build up a word with sound, that is a ridiculous idea.

The value of what one steals, has nothing to do with the sentence.

I steal your suitcase - I committed a crime called "theft", I get punished for theft. Not for what ever is in your suitcase. Or if the suitcase is empty.

Does not matter if I take your $2000 phone from your table in a cafeteria, or steal your $2,000,000 car in front of it: the crime is the same, and the punishment is the same.

At least in Germany.

On the other hand, if I wrangle an ice cream out of the hands of your little boy and run away with the $1 ice cream: it is robbery ... and not theft.

Did he rob the car? (Can you rob a car?)
Or did he burglar into a car?
Or did he steal from a car?

5 years for stealing is a bit harsh ...

5 years for robbery? ... in Germany minimum sentence for robbery is 6 years.

Why stealing and breaking into a car and damaging it is not the way ... robbery is a completely different caliber of a crime!

It is against the mod rules to mod down you disagree with.
I carefully take care not to fall into that trap.

Despite the fact that some idiots troll mod me - and make new fake accounts - which get mod rights removed instantly: I can mod nearly every day.

However I do not have anymore the 35 mod points I used to have 20 years ago.

If every one "would pass" by answering everything correctly, then every one should pass.

Does not farking matter if everyone is 100% correct. What matters is if they are above the threshold to pass.

Actually from a teaching perspective: if you can not make a student pass, who managed to jump the inscription barrier, it is probably the teaching at fault.
