Genuine question: what is the point of logarithmic scales? Why can't we have a linear scale of 3 to 30 instead of 3 to 4? A linear scale works perfectly fine in most cases (for example the Scoville scale which goes from something like 3 for a green pepper to 20 million for a reaper), so why can't pH do the same?

That symbolically "closes the door" to the office, even though my flat isn't big enough for separate work/rest spaces.

"Not completely successful" genocide would mean killing everyone except for a few that got away. Hitler wasn't "completely successful" in exterminating Jews.

Go to China and tell them that General Tso's is Chinese cuisine, I dare you.

Mussolini came to power a hundred years ago. That's one century. It takes a couple of years to learn English to a passable degree. How can Mussolini possibly be blamed for how badly Italians speak English today?
