Two headlines side by side in my newsfeed:
American: “Only 3 survivors in a deadly airplane crash in Cuba.”
Ukrainian: “There are survivors in the airplane crash in Cuba! At least 3 people have survived!”
And now imagine how a Ukrainian with this disposition fares in American academia.

Just off the plane. Yeah, it didn’t register. I’m a little emotionally stunted.
