Yesterday you learnt that not all farmers are rich

[KidKruger]

Today I learned that the Thai word for ?eat? (?Gin?, the ?G? having same sound as in ?Gun?), must be accompanied by a subject word and cannot be used alone.

Ie. Gin khao (eat rice), Gin pizza (eat pizza).

Sadly, I had once known this but since forgotten - so naughty me.

While I was busy re-learning this, I also learned - as a sort of ?side-learn? - that the word for Eat (?gin?) can also be used to describe drinking, because ?gin? technically means to ingest.

However, there is a Thai word for Drink (?derm?).

I can?t be arsed to type the actual Thai script, but you get the jist.

And the consequence was, the posts were fairly quickly removed by a moderator, presumably following a report.

That still left two other recent spam postings made under the SadKrab id, one of them reported yesterday. What does one learn from that?
