denoir 0 Posted July 20, 2003 So what are the different national terms for this stuff? It would be interesting to hear from people around the world. Swedish -------- e-mail = e-post spam = skräppost network = nätverk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brgnorway 0 Posted July 20, 2003 Norwegian terms: e-mail = e-post spam = spam network = nettverk Not very different from Swedish, thus you don't have to worry about linguistic problems when we conquer your country Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tex -USMC- 0 Posted July 21, 2003 What's the french or other far-n equivalent to SPAM mail? -=Die Alive=- Spamiel. Hmm... it's evocative, and yet still retains that chauvinistic quality that makes the French so- French. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted July 21, 2003 Just to spite France, I'm going to have my email with ketchup from now on! Reminds me of what the husband (french) of my sister said recently. We were all together on holidays enjoying a dinner and he had his young daughter sitting next to him (nearly 3yrs). And she looked at a little pot of ketchup on the table and asked what this is. His answer was: "dont touch it, that is special medicine for americans". He is a nice guy, has traveled a lot and this sort of humor must be a allowed. It is just like calling a coke a "texan beaujolais" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USSoldier11B 0 Posted July 22, 2003 Most Americans, even pro-Iraq war ones have little or nothing against France. American tourists have reported that the French have been nothing but courteous and accomidating. (For France) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
