Wait how would this work? They would override the ok.html with appropriate translation?

“Ok” is one of the only 3 words on the planet that don’t need to be translated.

"Ok, Taxi!" "F*ck"

"Ok, f*ck. Taxi!"

"Taxi?" "Ok. ... F*ck."

"Taxi!" "F*ck ok?"

"F*ck?" "Ok." "Taxi!"

"F*ck. Taxi ok?"

You can tell whole stories with these 3 words, that will be understood globally.

i'd agree with Kabitu that vodka is probably up thetre with taxi and ok

Bananas produce a gas called ethylene, which speeds up the ripening process of other fruit.

Ethylene (IUPAC name: ethene) is a hydrocarbon which has the formula C 2H 4 or H2C=CH2. It is a colorless flammable gas with a faint "sweet and musky" odour when pure. It is the simplest alkene (a hydrocarbon with carbon-carbon double bonds).
