"over and under" sounds right to me but "under and over" sounds wrong. I'd expect them to be swappable. ¿Is this me or is this a thing?

Got my #BeePioneer to pair with my phone. Working well, but right now seems to only understand one language at a time. The way it tries to understand #Japanese as #English is extremely ... funny?
Tried changing it to Japanese, but training the voice recognition for that language did not go well. Switched back to English.
Still, just started with it; can't wait to see how it does after a few weeks.
I am trying to avoid #Amazon. Is there any comparable online #bookstore in Europe that sells #English-language #books? I sometimes buy at Worldofbooks in the UK, but they only sell used books and sometimes I want to read something before it hits the used book market. I am in Germany, but would happily pay a little extra for shipping from other EU countries instead of ordering at Amazon.

You might need them." -- Peter Coviello, head of the #English department at Univesity of Illinois Chicago Circle
