I'm not an Advanced student, but I agree - at any level, the more expansion sentences with more focus vocabulary, the better.

没 is typically used to negate past events. I'm not that sure about the 不, but my gut feeling is that 还不来 probably emphasises 'still not here', while 还没来 means 'still hasn't arrived'. If thats right, there is not much difference. But, when I'm not sure, more often than not I am wrong.

"with no major disruptions or issues"

Are you joking? Have you been around for the last 5 days, especially the first 3?

In my original comment, I said that people spell things the way they do because they do, so I agree with you. After that, everything was meant to be in good humour - ho, ho, ho (if you are American, that's not 3 promiscuous women).

That photo doesn't suggest a Germanic origin!

Posted on: What's up?

Fall is only Germanic in the main sense of the word (to drop). I'm not sure what the original Old English / Germanic word for this season was.

'Fall' the season only comes from the 1600s. 'Autumn' comes from the 1400s. Actually, before that, the name of the season was 'Harvest', which I'm guessing is related to the German 'Herbst'.

To come full circle, I wonder if 'herb' is related to 'Herbst'?

Does 满月 refer to a Western calendar month, or to a lunar month?

While I'm asking, when did the Chinese adopt the Western months, and what did they use before that?

I added a paragraph to the end of my comment which should be more to your liking.
