I wonder about a lot of things in the English language that sound strange to dutch/german ears.
Examples:
\"Married w/3 daughters\" or \"Happily married with two kids (boys 7 and 3).\" LOL, that sounds like you are married with your kids. /ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif
\"The Summit in the Azores\" How on earth can you be IN an island?? Maybe if you are in a cave or a mine or something? In our language one cannot be inside an island, you can only be ON an island. /ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif
