This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Meanwhile the Chinese need a calculator to find out what to call their father's sister's daughter's husband's father

And Koreans. I don't know much about Chinese, but in Korea it also matters whether you're a boy or girl in what you call your relation.
