Apprendre les langues, c'est dépassé ! Apprenez plutôt les polices d'écriture ! A l'école, on apprend à lire, à écrire, on apprend une ou plusieurs langues étrangères. Pourtant, à l'heure du numérique, il pourrait être utile de connaître les polices d'écriture. Si c'était une discipline reconnue, cette petite fille de seulement deux ans serait une experte en la matière. Suivez Gizmodo sur les réseaux sociaux ! Elle s’appelle Scarlett, elle n’a que deux ans, donc, et elle est capable, en un coup d’œil, d’identifier la police avec laquelle est écrit un texte, que dis-je, seulement deux mots ! Inutile, idiot, abrutissant, honteux, étonnant, impressionnant, etc. Impressionnant, vraiment !

You looked at me with fascination. “Don’t worry,” I said. “Oh,” you said. “Neither,” I said. “Ah,” you said. “All religions are right in their own way,” I said. You followed along as we strode through the void. “Nowhere in particular,” I said. “So what’s the point, then?” “Not so!” I stopped walking and took you by the shoulders. “You’ve been in a human for the last 48 years, so you haven’t stretched out yet and felt the rest of your immense consciousness. “How many times have I been reincarnated, then?” “Oh lots. “Wait, what?” “Well, I guess technically. “Sure.
