What really irritates me in dubs in when they pick weird times to give characters a goofy accent or some other verbal tic.
I didn’t know we could do furigana in posts - how do you do it?
<ruby>(kanji goes here)<rt>(furigana goes here)</rt></ruby>
There’s a bunch of assorted optional tags, most of which deal with what happens when a browser is not set up to display furigana, but I don’t usually mess around with those.

凍る・氷る (こおる) – to freeze (intransitive), to become frozen
So yes, 氷 (こおり) has a corresponding verb. Who knew? (I certainly didn’t.)

I only know this because it’s in WK (lv. 28), I wonder how long it’d take for me to encounter it otherwise
Mix 止まる (to remain/stay) and 凍る (to freeze), and you get 滞る (to stagnate)!
⠀
As for a term I just learned:
止まるところを知らない = knowing no bounds; showing no signs of stopping or slowing down

I’m going to be tested on my knowledge in business Japanese (especially economics) soon so I tried reading an article from the Nikkei today and I learned the following words:
- 上昇(じょうしょう) = rising → 物価上昇率 inflation
- 措置(そち) = a measure, which is different from a policy (政策)
物価上昇率の一時的な2%超えを容認したことを受けた措置だ
- 上回る(うわまわる) = to exceed (esp. figures: profits, unemployment rate, etc.)
- 緩和(かんわ) = relief

You know what goes well with this… 
I learned this a long long while back, but never found actual use for it. Maybe someone else will!
Good luck on your test!
