Popular Post Red Phoenix Posted September 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2023 On the eve of Zelensky's arrival in New York a billboard with Ukranian flag featured a greeting message. But instead of Glory to Ukraine, the flag read Glory to Urine . The company that owns the screen explained that the error was caused by an intelligent system that compared the yellow color with the word Ukraine and automatically corrected it to a similar consonant word - Urine. ~ 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post owl sees all Posted September 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2023 Perhaps that's what the conflict needs; some humour. Saw a report the other day that said over 70% of Americans couldn't pinpoint Ukraine on a world map. 4% couldn't even pinpoint Europe. There don't seem a lot of appetite for this conflict. Only among world-leaders, and US and UK war-mongers. 2 4 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of Americans have probably never heard of Ukraine. There are a few words that I always mis spell, but they generally show up underlined in red. I then go to Google, retype it and it shows me the correct spelling in UK English. Reasonably simple in English, but in Ukrainian I wouldn't like to hazard a guess. Thai is bad enough but IMO Welsh is the worst. In English it is town, in Welsh it becomes tref. Computer becomes cyfrifiadur, yet car is the same as English. English becomes Saesneg, similar to Jockinese or in English slang it becomes those bar stewards in Whitehall, London, which comes out as bratiaith Saesneg mae’n dod yn stiwardiaid bar yn Whitehall, Llundain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that someone could have done it for a laugh, and blamed it on some AT thing. Could have been an IT/AI error. When I see things with me own eyes, I tend to believe that it's true. These links to places like the BBC, CNN or The Guardian, I put a question mark up there straight away. And these fact-checkers are often funded by dodgy concerns.
