I have just found out that there are Japanese phrases meaning "please stay" & "please go" which are almost indistinguishable.

What’s the difference between a cat and a comma?
A cat has claws at the end of paws and a comma is a pause at the end of a clause.

3yo: Jackdaw!

Kestrels are famous for their ability to hover. This allows them to lock their eyes on the ground and search for small prey like voles and mice.
