It's weird American spelling where they removed the u from ou in many words because they sent telegrams and those were paid by the letter.

Reminds me of a translation job my wife and I did. This was before google and any kind of translation engine. It was just a small text to be included in a CD case. But there was a thorough listing of the instruments played by the artist: about a dozen different kinds of trumpets. Even though our command of the English language is quite good, we were at a loss. We could not just write that "He plays a trumpet, a trumpet, a trumpet, and a trumpet", and no dictionary we had access to was in any way helpful.

So we got pictures and information on all those "Trumpets", got our hands on an English book on musical instruments, and painstakingly identified each single instrument. It took us days to translate a single column of text, but at least those trumpets had their proper names.

Three tines is not a fork. Three tines is a trident. Forks are for eating, tridents are for ruling the seven seas.

~~Trident~~ Threek

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Tridents are a type of fork. :P

You better not fork on the table.

I bet you are one of those barbarians who use a fork when they should have used a fork! Out of my sight, lowly peasant!

That lives rent free in my head whenever I see a fork like this

I feel like I know what you're referencing but I can't figure it out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

It comes from Isles most shivering, the line, not the item specifically.

"You bring the Fork! Happy day! The blind shall see! The lame shall walk! The short shall tall! Forks for all!"

I did this by hand on my phone in about 5 minutes I'm surprised it looks as good as it does.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

They remember the grapefruit fork, but they forgot the vichyssoise fork?
