*About tones while we're having an asterisk day anyway: 不 is in the tags as bù, but the vocab list often has it as bú when in front of another fourth-tone character, like 不够. The accuracy and the mechanism of this are above my paygrade, sorry, please look up as needed.

人手真不够, we really don't have enough people
