@rhempel nowadays were have the opposite problem, as window signs will often say "Sale!", which is confusing to Danes, as that means "Halls!", as if there is some big rooms inside the building.

Examples that Danish is the most confusing language for English speakers:
In Denmark, when washing machines are done, their displays write, "Slut!", which means "Finished".
When someone enters an elevator, the display changes to "I fart", which means "On the move".
Tourists have difficulty finding a nice WC, because the signs often say "Bad toilet", meaning "Bathroom and toilet".
In lobbies with multiple elevators, one sign may say, "Gods elevator", which means "Freight elevator".
Or the evergreen road signs "Fart kontrol" :-)

@randahl I remember being amused by the services that the Norwegian Railways offered.
We encountered "Gods transport" and assumed that, while Norway was forcibly moved over to Christianity a long time ago the old Norse Gods must still be there, lurking in the background and still needing to go places.
Like grumpy employees that have been moved sideways to roles that cause the business less damage, in charge of time and motion studies or health and safety audits.

Maybe I misinterpreted and need to reconsider my profile picture?
Asking for myself.

@randahl Please explain the idea behind "your" numbers! It's fun, but in the most complicated way possible
@waldschnecke @randahl yeah its insane. Basically you divide all the numbers into 20 (snes, a score in english) like the french but then somebody got the brilliant idea to count half snes, so when you say 50 you say halvtres (deduce: half three snes) meaning 2.5 snes.
Yeah its just insane 😂 -

@randahl I do not know what is so bad about Bad Odesloe… Or Bad Salzungen. When you learn German, Bad means healing termal spring.

@randahl One day, Middelfart is going to open an art museum and the sign pointing to Middelfart Kunst is going to make visitors so happy.

ricordo che questa chiavetta arriva fino a 1,8GHz, però con questo programma vedo comunque quei picchi fissi che non se ne vanno. Fatto sta che da me non c'è niente ed essendo sugli 800MHz sicuramente l'antenna TV del palazzo l'avrebbe dovuto captare qualche segnale

Larger offspring is going to #China for a school trip, so we caved and set up a cellphone for them. We will have to install some local spyware (#WeChat) because apparently a lot of Western stuff over there is locked and they'll need something to communicate among the students and teachers and they've settled for that. I'm also putting #DeltaChat there because at least for communication with us it'll hopefully work.

@michaelmathy @tournesol oh wow I had never thought of it this way... indeed if your phone number is 60 followed by 16 you're in so much trouble 😂

@elena @tournesol
When I was young and we used to spell phone number, I was always the stupid guy that asked when I heard 60 16, "vous voulez dire le nombre 7 et 6 ou soixante et seize" ?Like
06 60 16 ...
06 76 ...
