      @Yeet Yeet Kosovo's independence already happened before this series started. I'm guessing they skipped it because it's not a UN member state, so they'll only be obligated to do it if that situation changes, which is not likely to happen in the next few years. Point being, nothing about Kosovo has actually changed between the start of this series and the present day, so it's not a country that's "popped up" since the start of the series. The most likely countries to come into existence before they finish would be Bougainville or Scotland.

    Fun fact: L sounding like D is perfectly logical. Phonetically speaking, a lot of languages have L and D at the same place of articulation, and both are voiced consonants, the main differences being D is 'central' and L is 'lateral'. (Se)Sotho is no exception. Basically, think of it like how the distinction between L and R isn't perfectly clear in some languages. There's lots of phonetic similarities between L and D and L and R.

      96,5 is less than 97...
      We can never find 96,5 if we already reach 97...
      Its like 0 to 1...
      0,5 is somewhere between 0 and 1
      0---> 0,1 ---> 0,2 ---> 0,5 ---> 0,9 ---> 1

      96,5 is the the half way in this episode.
      If you think episode 96 is a whole video from 00:01 until the end...
      96,5 is not exist... Except you count the Fun Flag Friday episode tomorrow..
      Because if you reach episode 97, you are to late to find 96,5

      Erin Richardson Ditto. When I went a couple years ago there were no border controls on the Lesotho side. I was told there used to be, in a caravan (RV), but it blew over in a storm and they said to hell with it. On the SA side, by contrast, there was a big border operation (presumably meant to keep people from crossing illegally into SA looking for work).

Most of the information is completely accurate, other than butchering of the language (but that’s not your fault so it’s okay), and the correction of our people’s name (Mosotho singular), Lesotho also has the second biggest damn wall in Africa and yes, Desmond Dube is Mosotho. 😊 Thank you again for this video, loved it!
