One of the things that I have been meaning to mention as an upgrade would be to have British times on British games rather than German ones.
However that is small beer (that's beer and not lager) compared to the use of the word 'Lumbar' when what they really mean is 'Wood'.
Then today I got a ystem message that said in part:- "I knew it was not gonna to be that easy..." and I thought what is wrong with 'going' rather than the non-word (apologies to Scotland) 'gonna'.
Does this perhaps mean that several people did the translation or just that Germans think that American is English???

I would assume that if someone typed "Lumbar," they intended "Lumber," which is wood.

And while I agree that it should be avoided, "gonna" is in dictionaries, including British English dictionaries. ;)

I hope to watch some Canadian football live this week - as the Americans would say 'not perfect but better than nothing at this time of year".

Yes Statman I agree that I can not spell but 'going' is as fast to type as 'gonna'.

I don't get you point. Are you just pointing out that people are typing things differently than you, and you think they're being inefficient?
