语法
就, then
I think it was tinny who described this 就 as basically the equivalent of →, and I find that helpful.

("The adverb 就 (jiù) has quite a few uses in Chinese" says the Wiki. Butter wouldn't melt.)

词汇
差, different/bad/short of (also, though not in HSK1 list, 差点, almost but not quite, 差不多, almost etc.)

Guardian:
(哈哈 no I am not searching for every single appearance of 就 in the text)
等车修好之后，我们就各自出发吧. once the car is repaired, then we'll each set off.
如果所料不差的话, if the documents are not wrong
我知道了，我现在就去找他, Understood, then I'll go find him now

My practice:
今天的新闻不那么差。
一些问题出来，就大家都开始着急。

Haha, that is excellent. :D

SHL:

Zhou Zishu: 我赌终有一天你会对我敞开心扉。还没见到输赢， 就算天王老子也休想赶我下桌。
Wen Kexing: 敞开心扉？人心即鬼蜮， 我的心有什么好看的？
Zhou Zishu: 看过之后我才知道如何帮你。睡吧。
Wen Kexing: 看过之后你就不会当我是朋友了。

(Or a less angsty one from simpler times earlier episodes: "好啊，你去哪儿我就去哪儿。")

对吧 ;)

I feel like the only possible English translation for this is "Whither thou goest I will go"...

I KNOW!!!! It's impossible not to think it. :D

I expect they didn't do that on purpose, but it sure resonates.

My face, when the new popup dictionary app shows me a whole paragraph of meanings for 就: O.O

[presumenothing]

my semi-fried brain parsed that as "看了我就 [shocked pikachu]", which I suppose is a not-inaccurate demonstration of its grammatical function

[elenothar]

indeed it is XD

[nnozomi]

LOL at this whole (effectively mnemonic) exchange...

[elenothar]

就, now forever the shocked pikachu face hanzi in my head XD

Works for me :)

The Rebel, ep. 27:
你现在出去就等于送死

I found a lot of 就 but that one I think matches this grammar usage.

I wasn't sure if this (below) is the same usage, but seems similar? (There's a situation, and something is done as a result.)

Wang Shi'an: 重庆已经收悉
Chen Moqun: 那就静待回复吧

I found a lot of 就
I KNOW it sneaks in everywhere ;(

Looks like it to me! 静待 is also a word I'm going to keep in mind.
