Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

that's the funniest post i've read in a while, lol!

it would be the same in italian too.

italy loves this kind of stuff:

the bus company in siena is called 'traiin'

i always giggle when i think of the confusion this must cause countless tourists!

down the road from me there is a tractor parts factory, proudly called 'meeat'

etc.

for the scatos, there is plenty of cheap glee over the a.n.a.s national road works, and enel electricity monolith!

nb, the italian pronounciation of 'e' is like 'ay'

ah yes the transition period towards a one-world language has many a hilarious bump in the road....
