Something expensive is spendy.
My dictionary doesn't think so, heh. Webster seems to say "chiefly Northwestern US" so that may explain it. I remember rolling my eyes and thinking that it sounded like something a self-important jackass would say. (edit: the first time I heard it, I mean).
I don't think I'd ever use it, but I also don't see it as weird or wrong anymore. Melty is fine. Slippy still grates on me a bit, but I can let it slide.
Definitely both exist in Japanese and they are used fairly frequently.

Certain registers of a language do have different rules, but those also change and are still kinda whatever that part of society agrees with. Business letters that I learned to write in gradeschool in the '80s aren't necessarily the same as I would write or expect to receive today. Ubiquitous, fast electronic communication also through a wrench into things a bit.
I'm a native US English speaker. I would only ever say oriented. As a kid, not knowing the "correct" form, I got corrected for saying orientated. I watch content from a lot of countries and do hear at least some British English speakers using orientated.
Some N greater than zero, though probably at least two unless you're inventing a language/dialect on your own.
Depending upon the type and quantity of food, climbing it might be a more difficult task than expected (says me who had McDonald's today (though for the first time in a couple months)).
Are you sure it's lentils? I have no idea, but other people are mentioning beef stew and it kinda looks like ground meat to me more than lentils.
I don't even know what I'm looking at. Sliced white bread with butter, HP sauce, salt or pepper shaker, and a plate with what seems to be boiled potatoes and some unknown viscous fluid with what might be sliced (presumably cooked) carrots.
It's possible to get my US license and transfer it, yeah. I was unaware zoom was an option, so I might look into that. The 13-hour time difference (to US Eastern) might make the test a bit rough, hah. Cheers!
Yep, that seems to be it. Interesting, if a bit simplified, explanation in the article of US politics for a Japanese audience.
Source? I live in Japan and haven't seen this (not surprising given I rarely read papers here), but would love context. Not seeing any in at least the first page of replies
'cause it's a tubular word, doy. (and for a brief moment, I was a kid in the '80s again)
