I was kind of shocked when I first learned this. literally *the* most important part of your work and you have ~no control over it? it's almost absurd, like doing interior design but someone else picks what color to paint the walls *after* you've arranged everything else

1) /kwju:/ is not an intuitive pronunciation of "QwQ" at all, for speakers of any language
2) /kwju:/ is at best rather awkward to pronounce for both English & Mandarin speakers
3) "quill" is pronounced /kwɪl̴/ which doesn't really sound that much like /kwju:/ (they probably thought it was /kwil̴/)

Daily mammal fact:

Giant anteaters carry their offspring on their backs. The colouration of the babies aligns with the mothers fur, helping to camouflage them.

They carry them for up to 6 months!

I'm going to do another anteater fact tomorrow because they're so cool.
