To people with questions about pineapples, the answer is that they grow upside-down. (There's a link to a picture.)

I am told that proper blog etiquette requires that when one reads a blog that is worth re-visiting, that a comment is left. Yours happened to one “Recently updated” when I logged in, and “present simple” piqued my interest. Your observations, from mandarin sitting, to Saudi driver licenses, to ESL: a job I do not envy you on (it’s difficult enough to find those who reasonably proficient at it as their first language!), are a joy to read. Thanks.
I could go for some pineapple now...or maybe softserve ice cream with pineapple topping.
To Andy N: Thank you for your kind comments. It's nice to find out that my daily sanity-preserving exercise is providing some pleasure to others!
To tinyhands: 'Softserve icecream'? Is that what it's called? Here they call it 'soft cream', and I always want to correct my students but didn't know the right name. (I prefer pineapple with unsweetened yoghurt.)
Right- To make sure we're talking about the same thing, "softserve" ice cream is what they serve at McDonalds, similar to frozen yoghurt in consistency.
Culture clash!
I've never eaten frozen yoghurt. I also never go to McDonalds. (Both are in Japan, however. It's just me.)
But I'm assuming 'softserve icecream' is the sort that comes out of a machine rather than is scooped. And it's er... soft. A bit like whipped cream, only heavier.
You got it- softserve is extruded rather than scooped. Frozen yoghurt is very similar (consistency of sorbet, except creamy) and can also be bought in pint or half-gallon (liter, 2-liter?) size cartons at the grocery store. Softserve pretty much only comes in vanilla, chocolate, or swirl. Frozen yoghurt comes a dozen or so fruit flavors.
I rarely go to McDonalds either (only for a sundae on Sunday), and I feel like SUCH a dirty American when I see them when I'm overseas. Of all the great things America could export to the world, McDonalds isn't one of them. Nevertheless, I'm weak for a hot caramel sundae.
