things I learned today
French is not a pro drop language! That is so deeply weird!
I needed to look this up, so I grabbed a French textbook, and was flipping through the section on weather (because weather is almost always a good place to find a subject-less construction: hace frio. llueve.) and it's full of "il fait"! None of this subjectlessness for French! But all the other Romance languages are pro drop, making French deeply unusual in that respect.
