jrc Posted February 7, 2007 Share #23 Â Posted February 7, 2007 Didn't mean to offend anyone with wombat, which is actually a word in a common British-American language called Instant Messaging and means, "Waste Of Money Brains And Time," which was a reference to two separate English/American pages...like we couldn't puzzle out the meaning of "color" and "colour." Maybe Instant Messaging isn't as shared a language as I thought... 8-) Â JC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_clarke Posted February 7, 2007 Share #24 Â Posted February 7, 2007 Where I come from in the north east of England we Geordies do pronounce colour as 'culla'! Â But then for us Northumbrians English is a foreign language and our dialect is unintelligible to most... Â So, which version of the site to choose?

pklein Posted February 8, 2007 Share #27 Â Posted February 8, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Blasko not a chance:D :D Â Ah, Guy, you've been fooled by the old Hungarian name reversal. In Hungary, it is customary to list the family name first and the given name second. In other words, what we call the first name is last, and the last name is first. Â For example, let's say you just bought a recording, on the Hungariton label, of the Concerto for Orchestra and the Suite from Hary Janos, by Hungary's two best-known modern composers. They would be listed as Bartok Bela and Kodaly Zoltan, despite the fact that we know them as Bela Bartok and Zoltan Kodaly. And their friends called them Bela and Zoltan, respectively. Â So if you want to be friendly to Magyarman, call him Ferenc. Â --Peter, who a long time ago in a galaxy far away, announced classical music on public radio, and had to learn such things. . .

chrism Posted February 8, 2007 Share #29 Â Posted February 8, 2007 Peter, I didn't know that. I'll be sure to keep it in mind for the Leica User Forum's Be Friendly To Hungarians Week (Even Ones Who Don't Like The M8). Â Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
