Wouldn't you be installing a new set of elites with incredible power, though? After all, someone has to count and interpret the votes. Hopefully the minimum number of people required to check and to balance is not larger than the maximum number of people capable of fruitful collaboration.

This may have more to do with the instructor of your second language, because pronunciation is taught. If your German teacher is French (or French Canadian) or learned German from someone who otherwise accented it in such a way, then that's how you're most likely to accent it. Only about one in five Canadians learn French as their first language, so outside of Quebec, they're really not secret French speakers masquerading as English speakers.
With French as Canada's second official language, though, it would not be surprising if the majority of Canada's foreign language teachers spoke French either first or second (but I say this without research or evidence, so it's just an irresponsible hypothesis.)
Transcript says "excretable" but image says "execrable."
The way those two words are used internationally can sometimes be confusing to Americans, which is why it's helpful to refer to left- and right-wing clarifications when given.
The law in my part of the U.S. specifically says to pull to the right to let an ambulance pass, but as far as I know, it doesn't give you the right to drive on the sidewalk (so as you say, nothing to account for a lack of places to move).
What our German friend there is describing is a convention to inform drivers whether they should pull to the right or to the left depending on lane position, which is really smart and which I've never heard of. If there is such a system here, it needs a marketing campaign, because it only works if everyone knows about it and clearly we're not there yet.
Knowing how to drive doesn't create a space to move your vehicle into when the road is packed like Tetris. The world's best drivers can get stuck in these situations, too.
Don't do it if you're trying to date your sister.
Tricky territory when you're talking about journalism.
While Tombstone has a few historical exaggerations, its treatment of Doc Holliday’s death aligns with Costamos’ firm devotion to accuracy. Val Kilmer utters the same words as his real-life counterpart as he dies. As he looks at his bare feet, he utters, “This is funny.” These three words were also overheard in 1887 and overheard by Holliday’s attending nurse.
True to life, Holliday was a quick-witted talker until the end. Even so, his final words left some fans puzzled. While some contend that Doc’s last statement was about his nurse’s refusal to give him some parting (from the mortal realm) booze, his words were actually about his bare feet.
To be fair, it was common then, so it wouldn't have seemed shady.

Scratch is a simple drag and drop app kids use to learn to code. I've seen kids create pretty elaborate games with it. Maybe you could play with that and figure out if your concept is in fact simple enough to create on your own.
