Yeah, I'd argue for the inclusion of alternate romanizations of the character 元, especially as it's pronunciation varies across dialects (Mandarin is 'yuan,' Cantonese is 'man' (like the "mon" in money)). However, Yen is the Japanese pronunciation for that symbol, but it's a different currency, so accepting that one could be problematic...

The Japanese Yen isn't even the same character. It's 円, not 元.

Stretching discipline? Most certainly not. I might accept breathing discipline, but even that's not right. Yoga is a spiritual practice.

If some the poses involve laying your hands flat on the ground while your legs remain straight, that's going to involve stretching. To the degree you can't discount the spiritual and meditative aspects of yoga, you can't deny the physical ones as well. It's body and mind.

Yoga is a way of life involving many practices the aim of which is achieving a spiritual state. What the west knows as yoga is one aspect, called asanas, which are a preliminary to meditation.

Who the heck is Yanni? That question is bs, never heard of it in my life and neither does anyone I know. If it were supposedly so popular I'd think I could find one high schooler that knows who that is, but that is not so.

Yanni is a great musician who was the companion of Linda Evans (The Big Valley & Dynasty) for several years. Jog your memory any?

I'd never heard of him either. Nor have I heard of Linda Evans. American acts that didn't make it across the pond, or if they did it was quite a while ago, I assume?

Never heard of him either. So perhaps was only popular during a certain time and or place.

(During a certain time might not be the correct way to say it in English. But just woke up and can't think of a proper sentence. Time period sounds to historic so does age, during certain years? Anyway you probably know what I mean :) )

I'd never heard of Yanni either, and it's the only one I got wrong, but that doesn't make the question "bs", it makes it an opportunity to learn. I'm sure there's lots of pages with much easier quizzes where I'd get 100% right every time, but what would be the point in that?

I was referring to the thing on the internet where people listen to a clip and some heard the word pronounced as yanni while others heard it as laurel. (Both my husband and I only heard yanni, but I think the majority heard it as laurel.)

half a billion?? there are only 7.7 billion people on the entire planet, and that was 5.3 in 1990. So I assume not at the same time... cause that would be quite impossible ( if you discount all the people that do not own a tv (which are more than you think, think about poor areas, even though there are families with 4 tv's nowadays...), are asleep or at work, that doesnt leave a lot of people)

btw browsing through the population data, a startling/astonishing fact. In 1970 the world population was half of what it is now.... let that sink in!

Less actually. It was 3.7 in 1970 and we are now at 7.7 ... (it was half of 2015/2016 when we were at 7.38/7.47)

1 billion 1804

2 billion 1930

3 billion 1960

4 billion 1974

5 billion 1987

6 billion 1999

7 billion 2011

10 billion estimated 2055

scary data...

Yanni, as I learned just this week, actually disavows the label "new age" to describe his music. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't get to choose labels others ascribe to him. Were he to have his druthers, though, "new age" would not be among those labels.
