That kinda depends on the circumstances, but I'll try to stop arguing after this reply

Nobody knows the limit

I'm not sure, but let's say that's true. They usually also don't care to know the limits. Another interesting case is Patricia Stallings (emphasis mine):

an American woman who was wrongfully convicted of murder after the death of her son Ryan on September 7, 1989. Because testing seemed to indicate an elevated level of ethylene glycol in Ryan's blood, authorities suspected antifreeze poisoning, and arrested Stallings the next day. She was convicted of murder in early 1991, and sentenced to life in prison.

Stallings gave birth to another child while incarcerated awaiting trial; this next child was diagnosed with methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), a rare genetic disorder that can mimic antifreeze poisoning. Prosecutors initially did not believe that the sibling's diagnosis had anything to do with Ryan's case. Stallings' lawyer was forbidden from producing available evidence as proof of the possibility. After a professor in biochemistry and molecular biology had some of Ryan's blood samples tested, he was able to prove that the child had also died from MMA, and not from ethylene glycol poisoning.

Hey, isn't it an absolutely impossible scenario not grounded in reality at all not even resembling what happens now

That doesn't make it a part of another language though, which is what I was thinking of.

But you're right, as long as communication is successful, it is a language, I guess

I don't think it's that rare, students in (almost?) every country need to live somewhere for cheap and living in the same room is cheap usually

I think, there were some more events, and maybe they involved elections, too. And after that all the other parties were eliminated, because it turned out that it's easier to rule when there's no other options

Got it, if ungovernable, it's a vegetable

I believe the point is non-sweet, tomatoes are often quite sweet without any cooking required

It used to be leagues better than the default on windows, having plugins, hex-view for binary files, actual history instead of one undo, ability to open big files without much trouble, formatting and syntax highlight. At least, those were the reasons I used it, nowadays I still install it and set as default, but don't use that much. And I moved to Linux anyway
