  1. [Achievements][29][Achievement Description] "Cast your line carefully if you want to reel in this reward — you'll need to nab a bunch of fish in a row without a single one getting away to earn these miles." -> "Cast your line carefully if you want to reel in this reward—you'll need to nab a bunch of fish in a row without a single one getting away to earn these miles."
  2. [Achievements][30][Achievement Description] "A home that you build yourself gives you greater livability — it's on a whole other level! I'll give Nook Miles to those who build or expand their home to taste the good life." -> "A home that you build yourself gives you greater livability—it's on a whole other level! I'll give Nook Miles to those who build or expand their home to taste the good life."
  3. [Achievements][55][Achievement Description] "It's so impressive when someone can catch five wasps in a row — so impressive, in fact, that you'll earn some Nook Miles if you can do it!" -> "It's so impressive when someone can catch five wasps in a row—so impressive, in fact, that you'll earn some Nook Miles if you can do it!"
  4. [Achievements][66][Achievement Description] "You can display furniture outside, right? Well, here's a little incentive for you to show off what you've got — you'll earn Nook Miles based on the number of furniture items you set up outside." -> "You can display furniture outside, right?

  5. [Achievements][79][Achievement Description] "The only thing better than ringing in the new year is ringing in the new year with some Nook Miles! May you live to see many more — years and miles!" -> "The only thing better than ringing in the new year is ringing in the new year with some Nook Miles! May you live to see many more—years and miles!"
  6. [Art][4][Description] "This masterpiece, painted by 17th century Dutch artist Rembrandt, depicts a military gathering. At the time, portraits usually showed their subjects standing still. So this was a leap forward in technique. For many years, art scholars thought the painting was set at night, but a restoration revealed a dark varnish. We can now see the dynamic poses and lighting as they were meant to be seen — in the daytime!" -> "This masterpiece, painted by 17th century Dutch artist Rembrandt, depicts a military gathering.

  8. [Art][39][Description] "One of Manet's earlier works, this painting depicts a young flautist dressed in military uniform. Manet's works are notable for their lack of linear perspective and strong color contrast. These attributes led some to call him "The Father of Impressionism" and make comparisons to Vélazquez. Fun fact — flautists can determine what note the boy is playing just by studying the painting closely." -> "One of Manet's earlier works, this painting depicts a young flautist dressed in military uniform.

  9. [Art][62][Description] "It is said that this painting is a more discreet version of an earlier work known as "The Nude Maja." It is also known that Francisco de Goya was quite popular in his own time. Could these facts be related? A third, unrelated fact — the word "maja" refers to a "stylish young lady of Madrid."" -> "It is said that this painting is a more discreet version of an earlier work known as "The Nude Maja."

  10. [Fossils][2][Description] "The acanthostega! Said to be one of the earliest amphibians, it existed well before dinosaurs. Because they lived as fish not long before, they still had gills and very webbed "hands.". To toss away the life they knew and venture onto unknown lands... they must have been very brave! Hmm... Does it still count as bravery if you have no understanding of what you're doing?" -> "The acanthostega! Said to be one of the earliest amphibians, it existed well before dinosaurs.

  11. [Fossils][4][Description] "Ammonites were creatures that lived before and all the way through the age of dinosaurs! Because different species lived at different times, their shells are sometimes used as "index fossils.". In other words, these creatures act as markers in time, helping to identify the age of other formations! Who knows what other secrets lie hidden in those spiral shells?" -> "Ammonites were creatures that lived before and all the way through the age of dinosaurs!

  12. [Fossils][8][Description] "Anomalocaris lived in the water long before the dinosaurs and are known for their, er, "distinctive" look. Flat bodies over three feet in length, bulging eyes like a...dragonfly, antennae like shrimp tails... They looked so peculiar that people originally thought they were multiple fossils stacked on top of each other! As a delightful side note, "anomalocaris" means "abnormal shrimp". Obviously this animal has a certain reputation in the scientific community!" -> "Anomalocaris lived in the water long before the dinosaurs and are known for their, er, "distinctive" look.

  13. [Fossils][9][Description] "Archaeopteryx's feathers led many people to believe it was the progenitor of the birds, eh wot... Sadly, further evidence indicates it's likely not a direct ancestor—more an evolutionary "uncle", if you will. Every time a specimen is found, new theories pop up. And new relatives come to roost in the family tree!" -> "Archaeopteryx's feathers led many people to believe it was the progenitor of the birds, eh wot...

  14. [Fossils][13][Description] "Brachiosaurus, whose name means "arm lizard" —eh, wot— was one of the largest herbivorous dinosaurs. Due to its long front legs and elongated neck, it seems to have specialized in eating plants up high. Alas, in order to support its large size, it likely needed to eat more or less every waking hour.

  18. [Fossils][20][Description] "Ah, yes. Dimetrodon. Not actually a dinosaur, despite what some people may tell you. This REPTILE—not dinosaur is most famous for the large sail-like organ on its back. Said organ was likely useful in regulating its non-dinosaur—body temperature. Reptiles are known to be cold- blooded, but there is some debate as to whether dinosaurs were too. Dimetrodon assuredly was." -> "Ah, yes. Dimetrodon.

  20. [Fossils][23][Description] "Good old Diplodocus, what would we do without you? This stout fellow embodied all the best in dinosaurs. Those sturdy legs, that magnificent tail, and, above all, that extraordinary neck! Did you know that its center of gravity was such that sitting up on its hind legs was probably easy? What's more, paired with its long neck, this ability greatly increased its reach for eating plants! Best of all, Diplodocus probably grew its entire life, having no "adult size". Would that we were all so gifted!" -> "Good old Diplodocus—what would we do without you? This stout fellow embodied all the best in dinosaurs.

  26. [Fossils][30][Description] "The eusthenopteron is famous for being the link between fish and land animals long before dinosaurs. It seems to have had strong fins capable of pulling it around areas where the water was shallow. When most creatures lived in the sea... they dreamed of land. If not for them, we mightn't be here today! Imagine if we'd not left the oceans... How might fashion and music be different in an aquatic world? How would we resolve differences? Perhaps some sort of ink-squirting contest of champions?" -> "The eusthenopteron is famous for being the link between fish and land animals long before dinosaurs.

  27. [Fossils][35][Description] "The Megaloceros was a relative of the deer that lived during the Ice Age, long after the dinosaurs. It was also known as "megaloceros giganteus"...which just means "deer with large horns". True to their name, they were deer with antlers spanning roughly 10 feet across! Imagine the majesty! While smaller than many dinosaurs, they were nonetheless a very charismatic example of megafauna." -> "The Megaloceros was a relative of the deer that lived during the Ice Age, long after the dinosaurs.

  28. [Fossils][40][Description] "Hoo! I had been hoping someone would bring me a Megacerops! This large fellow was a bit like our modern rhinoceros, but with two horns on its nose! Sadly, their small teeth restricted them to a diet of rather soft plants, and eventually they died out. I feel there is a valuable lesson to be had there about learning to enjoy a variety of foods." -> "Hoo! I had been hoping someone would bring me a Megacerops!

  36. [Fossils][61][Description] "This shark-tooth pattern comes from the lower jaw of an ancient shark of the genus Helicoprion. Its teeth seem to have grown in a distinctive arrangement rather disturbingly termed a "tooth-whorl". I say "seem" because shark skeletons are made not of bone, but cartilage, except for their teeth. Consequently, their bodies are never preserved as fossils, and questions about their jaws remain unanswered. The size and placement in the stone of the shark's teeth are actually the only things we have to work with. Sometimes in research we must maintain a stiff upper lip, even in the absence of a stiff lower jaw!" -> "This shark-tooth pattern comes from the lower jaw of an ancient shark of the genus Helicoprion.

  40. [Fossils][74][Description] "Trilobites were ancient and extinct before the dinosaurs ever appeared! It boggles the mind! Hoo! They were also one of the most successful classes of animal ever, existing for over 300 million years. Some 50,000 species have been identified in sizes ranging from three millimeters to over two feet! Alas, that is the very limit of my enthusiasm for them, though, they look rather too much like bugs." -> "Trilobites were ancient and extinct before the dinosaurs ever appeared! It boggles the mind!
