    My summary: Sprites is an electrical phenomenon which can reach an altitude of almost 100mk while being discharged from a thunderstorm. It may occur millions of times a year, but by being quite unpredictable and bound to extreme specific conditions it´s hard to observe or pictured.

    Summary:-
    Sprites are high-altitude lightnings which occur millions of times per year but have been rarely recorded because of its uncertainty and the fact that they can be observable only from high altitudes and last for a few milliseconds.

    In this piece of text, the author explores in depths of abnormal use of the language, Guugu Yimithirr. It is a lingo of indigenous Australians, widely used in northern Queensland. The language itself does not have specific words for “left”, “right”, “backward” or “forwards”. Instead, they communicate using the position of the compass. It is a common course of action for them to situate themselves by giving elusive cues from the compass. However, if they travel further by a large scale, they could potentially hinder their ability to convey their message.
