Well, no, in english ninety means 90. You don't say nine-ten. Most probably it started off as nine-ten, but by now it is it's own distict sound as someone else under this post commented.

This is really region dependent. In Europe (or at least the Netherlands) almost everybody with a smartphone uses Whatsapp

Genuine question, so they actually work better now?

I mostly use it to set timers and alarms, but once in a while i set reminders but they often come out like i need to buy "dead foot", when I'm out of cat food for example

Todai Easy Japanese: it sources news articles from different places, adds furigana, long press words to get dictionary entry/readings/etc. and users can contribute translations for the articles.

Ankidroid: it's the offical anki app, for free (unlike iOS)

And i have a shortcut to jisho.org, since they don't have an app

Ubuntu (and most other linux distributions) have a slightly different way of installing programs and applications. It has an app store, similar to Android and iOS, you can search for Firefox (and other apps) from in there. If I'm not mistaken, Ubuntu searched and notifies you for updates regularly.

The philosophy of Ubuntu (and most other linux distributions) is that you don't need to go to a bunch of different sites to download your software, you can just download all your software from the "app store".

And all of these tools are GUI's (so 'point and click'-based), so you don't need to open a terminal, if you don't want to.
