...What I remember most about going to the Zurich area was hearing "Merci-schön".

Merci vielmal in Basel. Adieu for goodbye. Trottoir for pavement. Anker for butter (as in anchor butter), and manchesters for corduroy trousers.

You can say thanks to our North American friends.

Some of the European companies I have done work for purposely put the British flag as the icon for their English website.

I sometimes then have to point out the American spellings....

When I was doing German lessons the teacher (who was Hungarian) said she thought she was fluent until the day she went to Switzerland and couldn't understand a word.

I had a colleague who had Punjabi as his native language and he said he had relatives that spoke Hindi, but even though he spoke some Hindi they'd end up talking to each other in English as that was easier.

We're so lucky that English became the international language.
