I try to fight #disinformation: I naively think it is the one and only problem

I'm interested in many topics but I am mainly here for Language Learning

• Posts/reposts/answers mainly in: English, French, Spanish

• Sometimes in: Dutch, German, Italian, Portuguese, Esperanto

I am also super interested in reading my regular dose (when possible) of other languages that I am super curious about: Catalan Danish Swedish Norse/Bokmal Polish Ukrainian Czech Russian Japanese Chinese Korean Mongolian (but I have not found accounts in mongolian for now...)

(tldr; 25 years ago I choose the name Paraben because it was used in almost ALL cosmetics, and a few years later I discovered it was banned for being oestrogen-interfering and potential carcinogenic)

Paraben Aparaten was the name of my main musical project in the years 2000, (after Anaesth in the late 1990's)

Hexehelicen was the name I was hesitating with Paraben

To choose the name, at the time, I decided to look at all the materials used in cosmetics shower soap and shampoo. I looked at maybe 50 different of them at least.

In the indecypherable long ingredient lists (and I was trained in organic chemistry, so not particularily afrightened by demonic names like CH3-O-R... chirality, polarity, alcynes, alcenes, and many hallogeno-carbo stuff)... with tons of bizarre names to choose from, two standed out particularily often

• Paraben

• Hexahelicen

I choose Paraben Aparaten finally for my musical project: https://www.discogs.com/artist/6575-Paraben-Aparaten , the dimitintive is PRBN without vowels for the dj-ing facet Dj Prbn

Guess what... a few years later, I learnt that Paraben chemical derivative were potentially carcinogen, and complete oestrogenic deregulators...

So I choose Paraben because it was in almost ALL bottles of shower soap/shampoo: it was possibly carcinogenic it is now BANNED for several years

@ParabenAparaten

You have a good goal; knowing a little of other languages has been immensely helpful during my life.

@Nazani

What appreciate most, is the change it makes in my mind

It feels like fresh air

My most memorable moment when learning language:

• discovering that Dutch does not differenciate "if" and "or": they say "op" which means the two.

=> meaning allow simply a choice between several possibilities
