Those people could just as easily buy slip-ons, which serve the same purpose while not requiring an app (or any other form of electronics, for that matter).

What would be an example of #8? Are there names which gradually morph from one name into another over time? In what way could a name change such that the change doesn't occur at a specific point in time?

Last I checked, a small Big Mac menu is somewhere around 12.50, I don't think they offer a medium version.

While I agree that this is stupid, why would a deaf person be using Spotify in the first place?

In my experience that's a pretty normal price, everything here (and especially food) is just super expensive.

Based on anecdotal evidence, "I refuse" may be more common than you think. I live in Switzerland, and out of all the expats I know who have been here a long time (20+ years), a large percentage (over half) of them still can't speak German. At all. Like, they can maybe say "thank you" but that's about the extent of their vocabulary, and many of them actually seem to be quite proud of the fact that they've made absolutely zero attempt to integrate into the local community or culture.

Now, although I'm fully aware that there are a hell of a lot of differences between Switzerland and the US, it still wouldn't be at all surprising to me if there were large groups of immigrants in the US who similarly resist learning English.
