Comment on Cable placement a little weird, but the ergonomics are excellent.

  I feel like town and city is a little less consequential than to separate species

    Mice and rats are both generic names for multiple species

      Yup, even the specific species names aren’t consistent between languages. The species that is most commonly called African Soft Fur Rat (Mastomys natalensis) in English is called a “Vielzizenmaus” or “Mouse with many Nipples” in German. The German name is way better, they are more closely related to mice and their fur isn’t that much softer than on any other rodent. I don’t know how many nipples are a normal amount for rodents though, maybe they’re perfectly average

    I think cities are bigger. Hamlet -> Village -> Town -> City -> Metropolis, or something along those lines.

    Can also denote a difference in government styles: towns have a town council, cities have a mayor. Cities can be smaller than towns.

    This depends on your region, naturally.
