Thanks for sharing! These facts were astonishing!

Why don't I give myself a challenge? I'll try to write a sentence using every letter of the Spanish alphabet (ñ is the only additional letter for our purposes).

El señor Topaz, quien es el rey, miente al bispo fuerte cerca de la ventana con un kilogramo de wasabi en donde los estudiantes jóvenes han tomado un examen.

Well, this is not as fun as your English sentence for sure, and it makes no sense whatsoever, and it is a bit too long for a sentence. But I guess it has every letter of the Spanish alphabet in it. To be honest, I kind of had to search up some words with w and k, as those two letters are extremely rare in Spanish.

By the way, I remember one time in Spanish class when there were a few students reading an infographic in the back of the room that talked about fun facts about the Spanish language. They saw something that said something about there being very few words in Spanish starting with w, and that just made them curious, so one of them asked our Spanish teacher (a native Spanish speaker) to name a word starting with the letter w. And her response was: "I can't think of any."

Actually, w and k don't exist in Spanish, they are only used in loan words.

Statistically, people are more afraid of spiders than they are of dying . .

Maybe because for many, death is not an immediate concern(even though it might happen at this very moment)?

But how can they be afraid of spiders?
Most spiders are harmless. Right now there are many baby spiders roaming around, and at times, they'd crawl on my arm. It's more of a funny feeling(because they run so fast) than scary.
For me, it would be scary if I crush them accidentally.

I'm guessing people think so because of spiders' portrayal in popular media(eg: movies like spiderman)?

I don't know, I've never minded spiders too much (though I'm not really fond of them either). But when I spent some time in Australia many years ago, I was scared of them because I knew some of those there actually were poisonous to a degree that they could harms humans severely, but I didn't know which ones.

People have arachnophobia. It is just this irrational fear of spiders although not many people are going to have a tarantula for a pet. Spider bites can be deadly or cause necrotization. Some people love snakes and hate spiders.

At this forum one can learn a lot more than just about the target language. So much more value compared to Duolingo!

I was most astonished by your motto: . . 𝔻𝕠𝕟’𝕥 𝕥𝕖𝕝𝕝 𝕡𝕖𝕠𝕡𝕝𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕡𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕤 ... 𝕊𝕙𝕠𝕨 𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕞 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕦𝕝𝕥 . .

I am a great procrastinator and I overcome my laziness by announcing what I am determined to implement. Once I have done that, I break my back to achieve the goal.

In fact, I tend to be lazy when no one knows about my plans - I feel less committed to myself...

Ooh good . . [mention]MoniqueMaRie[/mention]

Sometimes we need to tell someone about our plans to motivate us to do it . .

But sometimes we should not tell people about our plans. When we tell them about our plans, our interest in following up on our plans and achieving them will gradually decrease and the gap between our knowledge of the necessary work and our
implementation of this work will increase . .

Also, some people, not all, when you tell them about your goals and plans, they will give you negative energy if they don't like it . .

The percentage of your action or reaching the goal or achievement that you aspire to will decrease . .

Excuse me for taking so long to speak. .
