Left foot
I’m the exact opposite: I always try to end on the right foot!
I often use tone tags, so in their absence, try to interpret everything I say as literally as reasonable.

Is that mpv 👀
As far as I know, it’s literally just Linux, so anything is possible

That’s just Mexico’s actual name
I’m not sure how common this is, and I probably need to delve into the literature a bit, but we typically learn that our language has a simple 3-“tense” system (past/present/future). Aside from some obvious exceptions such as a periphrastic past habitual, periphrastic conditional (contrafactual) form, two imperatives and some compounds using the passive participle, I’ve noticed myself using the past and future purely aspectually, such as with present time descriptors.
We also have historical present (but it’s not good literary style) and whatever the future equivalent of that is named.
Can you give more examples? I’m really curious now
I’m actually not sure how it compares to Israel. Might be close too
It’s not confusing at all, except in the very specific case of nouns referring to people or animals that don’t have gendered variants.
For example, in my language, the word corresponding to “(a) sheep” has a masculine and feminine form, with the feminine used neutrally. Consequently, when seeing “sheep” in English, I assume the feminine and seeing it used with “he” is a bit of cognitive dissonance.
Similarly, most words for human professions are by default masculine.
Similarly, 1/3 = 0.3333…
So 3 times 1/3 = 0.9999… but also 3/3 = 1
Another nice one:
Let x = 0.9999… (multiply both sides by 10)
10x = 9.99999… (substitute 0.9999… = x)
10x = 9 + x (subtract x from both sides)
9x = 9 (divide both sides by 9)
x = 1
