I was almost very mad before I saw the date it was posted.
The spoof articles posted to the ArXiv are the only April fools tradition I still really enjoy lol
… it was at this point, with that particular example, I realized what was going on and laughed out loud! 
The fact that it’s an actual embedded link to Duolingo’s website makes it even better! 
Omg, I didn’t even think to check if the links worked. Thats hilarious
