Today's Peeve Of The Day, Tuesday 4th February. (American, city, words)

[Jezer]

Good morning peevers.

It's Tuesday, so an early start here in Jezerville.

It's great to see that bit by bit the days are getting longer, especially noticeable in the evenings.

I was umming and ahhing about what peeve to post today when I suddenly remembered something that Mrs J had shown me a few days ago.

Here it is;

Chinese New Year: BBC subtitle blunder reads 'Welcome to the year of the whores' - TV & Radio - Media - The Independent

I'm not sure about getting lost in translation- I see this as more to do with predictive text.

Have you ever had an issue with it?

Let's hear because the POTD is;

Where did that word come from?

[Jezer]

Let's transport ourselves back to last summer!

The BBC seems to be struggling these days as are American media to make sense. Unfortunately most news sources these days are about as dependable as the internet.

Great peeve, Jezer.
I wonder about some words too...

Good morning...........

Here's to the struggling media

And I noticed the days are getting longer bit by bit......ahhhhhhhhhh

Good peeve, though I must admit that's one of the funniest oopsies I've seen in a while LOL

Okay, I read that it's the Year of the Horse. I can see how that might happen. Wasn't there a movie about Lost in Translation? There ya go.

Where did that word come from?

Year of the whores? Hmm.. Horse and Whores..... I won't get too wordy about this, but.. both have one thing in common.. some guys like to ride one of them...

Yeah I know.. it's bad..... there goes my City Data membership..

I don't see how someone didn't notice that mistake or maybe they did and let it slide anyway. It is funny though.

[Ketabcha]

I'm surprised that the BBC didn't catch that one. Or, maybe they did.
