You did more than fine, tbh.

Gotta keep them apart, one kept under guard by a powerful politically connected family. The other safe by his anonymity as dirt farmer. It basically worked, didn't it?

Yeah, but it just felt really unnecessary...

If they were too close to each other, maybe Vader (or even someone else) would have detected they were his much earlier. IIRC, the Alderaan family really wanted a kid, and farmer Owen is blood relative to the Skywalker kids - guess that solves where they ended up.

Murder affects other people.

I'm all for legalizing suicide, but not murder.

How does making suicide illegal even work? Do they penalise the family or something?

I assume the other poster meant euthanasia. In which case the person who assisted in a suicide would be held to account.

LSD, weed and mushrooms are fine to legalise, under certain conditions. Herion and crack, rehabilitate victims and jail-time for dealers.

They couldn't just send Luke and Obi Wan to live on Alderaan?

Right, and 99% of statistics are made up on the spot too. It's just a fun game, don't pretend it's anything more than that.



You do realise that's retarded?

Yes, it's "retarded", but it is still the only way to somewhat accurately measure it.

It's retarded because sampling is a thing, you know? You can get close enough results with a choice of random words and you don't have to define all >170k words in the English language. For example, you appear to have difficulty with "nadir" and "disdain"....

You asked and I answered, disdain and nadir are common words: "he had hit a new nadir", "I have nothing but disdain and contempt for that woman". Of course you're not expected to know all the words, otherwise everyone would get a perfect score.

Alright, but a test like that still can't determine the size of one's vocabulary.
It can determine your knowledge of certain words, and make an assumption based on that - which in 99% of cases is an incredibly wrong assumption.

The only way to accurately test vocabulary size would be to check every single word in a given language

Ursprungligen skrivet av Fork_Q2:

Disdain, nadir, acquiesce, querulous and surmise are definitely very common words. I honestly don't believe you never come across at least "disdain" and "nadir", I mean seriously?

I can't even tell if you're serious or not at this point.
