My 2nd child & I watched a random video in which some guy tried the figure out which country name was the most unique. He started with some criteria that sounded OK to use, but then diverted.
This has angered child 2, and so we will now write down all UN members names in their original language(s) and apply proper criteria.

We may not sleep.

#Parenting #NeuroDivergent

They are currently writing down all the country names in their original languages, on paper, with a pen, 32 per column.
My suggestion to just copy the page into an Excel sheet is greeted with barely masked disgust: "Papa! I won't do this on a _laptop_! I have _standards_!!!"

First criterium will be: the name contains common words ("The", "United", "El"), in the language it is in.

~~Second criterium: the name cannot contain any words that are also used in another name ("Sudan" + "South Sudan").~~ EDIT: I misunderstood, this is not criterium 2.

We'll apply these as soon as BK2 has finished writing all names down.

I suspect there will be some looking up of words in a bunch of languages...

Writing done, now we apply criteria.
