Tragic. I've no first-hand knowledge but, from what I've seen & read, Rojava and the 'women's village' (Jinwar) are an astonishing experiment in how things could be.

I can give countless examples of failure points of machine translation. If I give real examples that I’ve encountered I’m told they are “anecdotal”. If I discuss principles that will consistently fail, I’m told that it’s “just a matter of time” before the solutions will magically appear.

Maybe it's on its way to becoming a linguistic fossil as telegraph poles, dialling a number, taping off the telly etc have done. Or, more relevantly, Google Wallet.

Oh! Sorry, that was my best theory.

Isn't there a thing about it seeming better in photos than in real life? Maybe it looked just as crap to the naked eye in Florida.
