<p>Do you mean the short-term memory needed to apply the commutators or the conjugates? Otherwise you only really need to "memorize" the steps of the method.<p>I learned this method around 10 years ago, and I can still solve the cube without applying any memorized algorithms because of it. It really is the only fun way for me to solve the cube after all this time.</p>

<p>The Heise method might be a great fit for you. Unlike most methods, it requires no memorization. And, unlike most methods that require no algs, it can be quite fast. AND it forces you to learn about how the cube actually works and to think in commutators and conjugates: <a href="https://www.ryanheise.com/cube/heise_method.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.ryanheise.com/cube/heise_method.html</a></p>

<p>I suspect what you're saying could definitely be a phenomenon. However, in this case, I think it's just a matter of domain and context.<p>I speak both English and Spanish natively, however, I'm more comfortable in English when talking about e.g. technology and music. On the other hand, I'm more comfortable in Spanish when talking about math, feelings, etc.<p>As you can probably already tell, it's not like math and feelings are very related. It's just that I've probably been more exposed to those things in Spanish than in English. Same goes for technology and music topics, I've just been exposed to them in English a lot more than in Spanish.<p>Btw, I also had to write a dissertation in Spanish and I, too, had trouble with it, hah.</p>

<p>Hmm, I may be misreading your comments in this thread but it sounds like you're not okay with languages simply... evolving?<p>You are aware that importing words is a thing, right? <i>Even</i> if equivalent words already exist. It's perfectly normal and even healthy for a language to do so.<p>To me, <i>pullear</i> and <i>deployar</i> are just a lot more clear and there's no ambiguity. "Desplegar" would not be very meaningful to me in the context of my work.<p>It's all about clarity in my mind and condescension really has nothing to do with it.</p>

<p>You discover this early on when picking up a language. It's so pervasive and so annoying for language learners but I can understand why it happens.<p>If you're learning a language, CC are p much the way to go</p>

<p>It's been mostly reduced to free software projects channels/networks and just semi-private channels for groups of friends who've been on IRC for years now. So #archlinux, #dolphin-emu, #python, ##machinelearning, etc. all on Freenode are pretty active.<p>There's some hobby and subreddit related channels too. Like ##chess, and #rubik.<p>Other than that, the language learning community was surprisingly <i>very</i> active years ago, so it's still kinda alive. Language-specific channels like ##deutsch, ##espanol, etc. on Freenode are kinda alive. There's also ##learnanylanguage.</p>

<p>You just have to love Stephen Merity.<p>His work on QRNN's saved me quite a bit of time and money when I was doing my undergrad dissertation on language models.<p>This SHA-RNN seems to have surfaced from a similar line of thinking that spawned the QRNN.</p>

<p>Aside from V-2 already commented on, I'd like to add that spelling mistakes such as<p>> "it's" as a possessive<p>are mostly native-speaker exclusive. Your/you're, there/their, etc. spelling mistakes you just don't see non native speakers make. This is because they're just that, spelling mistakes.<p>So while native speakers know what they mean but it's just associated with a sound in their head, they just write out that sound. Non natives on the other hand usually think about the grammar, the right word, etc. I don't think I've ever met a non-native speaker that makes the there/their mistake e.g.</p>

<p>In case you missed the recommendation below, I'm gonna go ahead and second the GZCLP suggestion. It's much better than 5x5 and SS, deals with plateaus better and you can have more fun with it!<p>There's a subreddit for it and similar routines created by the same guy, too: /r/gzcl<p>It only requires 3 days/week at the gym and around 1hr per day</p>

<p>Off the top of my head, most romance languages. You could argue some German dialects as well, Japanese, etc.<p>Maybe even Chinese depending on your definition of 'vowel'. Are you talking phonemes or actual phones?<p>English has ~17 vowels, which isn't the most a language has, but that's quite a few</p>
