No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is the census mandatory in the US for both citizens and tourists?English
51·1 month agoI’ve visited Australia as a tourist (whom just conducted a census recently) and they count them, like WTF?! They don’t even live in the country yet make it mandatory for them whilst they’re physically present since they don’t bind census data to citizenship, rather EVERYBODY who is on their turf from citizen to visitor.
In that case, tourists are given a form upon visiting a info center or by their hotel. If they’re staying at an AirBnB or at relatives place: the landlord or property owner has to acknowledge that other occupants are present on their form. To Australia, it doesn’t matter if you’re a citizen or tourist: YOU must complete the census.
That’s in stark contrast to the US: where census data is only collected from citizens omitting tourists.
For Japanese at least, there’s 訓読み & 音読み in which the Kunyomi reading is the native Japanese way of pronouncing the Kanji while Onyomi is the pronunciation derivative from Mandarin, i.e. 戦う for “to fight” is read as たたかう via Kunyomi while 戦争 (“war”) is read as せんそう bearing the Onyomi reading.
