«Я никогда не встречал того, кто бы с такой настойчивостью писал слова в том смысле, которое прямо противоположно их истинному значению», — писал школьный учитель о Роальде Дале.
Для своих произведений Роальд Даль выдумает больше 500 слов — впоследствии они составят Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary. А в 2016 году, к столетию Даля, в Оксфордский словарь попадут 6 слов и словосочетаний, придуманных писателем:
• Dahlesque — нечто эксцентричное, присущее взрослым и злым персонажам.
• Golden Ticket — Золотой Билет, который получил Чарли в «Чарли и Шоколадная фабрика».
• Human bean — человек-фасоль, неверно произнесенное словосочетание human being — человеческое существо.

At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. That hurt tech stocks. For the past few weeks, the 10-year yield has traded between 1.72% and 2%, as traders moved into the bond for safety when Russia headlines were ugly—and out of it when headlines improved. Now, the yield is touching its pandemic-era high. If the yield breaks above that level, that could signal that it’s on a sustainable path higher. Higher long-dated bond yields make future profits less valuable—and many tech companies are valued on the basis of profits forecast for many years in the future. The message was not authentic, with the real Zelenskiy soon denying the claim on his official Telegram channel, but the incident highlighted a major problem: disinformation quickly spreads unchecked on the encrypted app. The S&P 500 fell 1.3% to 4,204.36, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.7% to 32,943.33. The Dow posted a fifth straight weekly loss — its longest losing streak since 2019. The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 2.2% to 12,843.81. Though all three indexes opened in the green, stocks took a turn after a new report showed U.S. consumer sentiment deteriorated more than expected in early March as consumers' inflation expectations soared to the highest since 1981. Unlike Silicon Valley giants such as Facebook and Twitter, which run very public anti-disinformation programs, Brooking said: "Telegram is famously lax or absent in its content moderation policy."
