English used to be phonetic, it's just people started changing the way they pronounced vowels, but the spelling stayed the same. For example, both the k and the gh in "knight" used to be pronounced.

You get a pat on the back for that *ahem*
Edit: damn, someone beat me to it. Anyone for Fun Kart Grand Prix?
Even here, some like Oxfam will save the more valuable stuff to sell on ebay. I worked at two charity shops back in my twenties, so I got to the good stuff first haha. The Baldur's Gate was lucky because another customer was going to buy it for her son, but changed her mind when she saw the age rating, and I was like, bagsy this!
I got my D&D Basic box set from a charity shop, £2.50. There's one going for over £150 on ebay right now. Got my Baldur's Gate box set from a charity shop too for £2.50. I also got Flash 4 (I think) for a couple of quid, it was selling second hand on amazon for about £200, but I was an anxious, clueless kid and was too scared to sell it.
Yesterday I got some squishmallows for my niece at £1 each. We still get good stuff here.
No worries. Good luck!
When I say laminate, I just mean the rolls of sticky back plastic. I don't know if it's called something else in your part of the world.
It's the stuff we used to use to protect our exercise books at school. You can buy special laminating vinyl but this stuff is cheaper.
Acid free sticky tape (scotch tape in the US?) will also work for smaller stickers, just make sure the sort you use doesn't yellow. In my experience, glossy photo paper scratches easily and has to have a layer over it to seal it, plastic is the easiest option (also remembering when I made over 200 trading cards on photo paper and had to design, cut and laminate them all by hand lol).
I did test the brand of vinyl paper I used with water and it did hold up. I've only had it on my bike for a few months, but so far it doesn't seem to have yellowed or faded. I probably should have cut out the sticky back plastic to be bigger than the sticker though.
What type of printer/paper do you use? I find cheap photo paper works well for high res on my inkjet, although it can fade if you leave it in the sun. I've been using vinyl sticker sheets for customising my bike and it seems to be holding well, but I did laminate them with sticky back plastic first.
There's also the sellotape trick, but that only works for laser printers and you obviously can't print white.
Ah you beat me to it. I was taught this an my child seat training course at work, it's true.
Boring fact for the day. The real reason for the baby on board sign isn't for other drivers, it's so if there's an accident, the emergency services will prioritise the cars with the sign. So if you want priority in an accident, you know what to do.
Remember the actual sixdegrees.com?
Let's take a moment to appreciate how much effort this YouTuber puts in just for us (has nothing to do with this channel being how they pay their bills, they do it all for us!)
