Oops...

[Red Phoenix]

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.

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.

Are you saying that you don't think it happened?

 

As soon as someone mentions that fact-checkers are on the case, I tend to believe the report is true.

I, OTOH, would much rather believe fact checkers than an anonymous poster on a forum, especially as you are only offering an unsupported opinion.

What could have happened, is the person on the computer couldn't spell Ukraine, and the Spell-checker took over.

 

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

Nothing irrespective about it, its fake, even down to the fake Fox News digital stamp they put on the vid.

 

"The video also showed a logo for Fox News Digital. However, we found no evidence that it had been posted by the publisher. By email, a spokesperson for Fox News said that they "did not publish this video."

Mostly among people who are easily susceptible to Russian propaganda. It's literally everywhere now, and in fact much of it is low quality.  Surprising some are so blind to it.

Yeah, but people who want to believe a fake story will do so regardless of evidence.

Right, and there's absolutely no way some troll couldn't photoshop that and put it on the internet for consumption by the gullible.  (That's sarcasm, in case you couldn't figure it out.)

Don't looked photo-shopped to me Bruce. 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.
