 ====== Words ======
+===== Language =====
+''English, then Chinese, then German''\\
+More speakers of a language is better. English is best, Chinese is a viable backup. Personally I cannot speak Chinese, the only language I know besides English is German. In cases where I must speak German (like 99% in IRL) I do so begrudgingly.
 ===== General Style =====
-''American English and British English: Clarity-Based, then Consistency-Based, then American English, then Both'' = Soccer (Clarity), "the police is" (instead of "the police are", for Consistency), Democratization (American English), Flat/Apartment (Both)

 Per case basis, in most cases American is preferred. In many technical contexts British English is preferred, although some exceptions exist.\\
 British English may be used in some cases to sound posh, especially in formal matters.

+===== Abbreviations =====
+Abbreviations are generally used for technical purposes and highlighted, ie. mostly capitalized. = WR, AM/PM, PC, DOA, NASA, ESA\\
+Exceptions in capitalization in some more advanced abbreviations where only specific letters are capitalized. Very casual abbreviations ("gg") are typically not capitalized, but can be capitalized at any time.
