This is an english/german dictionary of motoring terms(non-serious,this is
|
||
eunet.jokes remember).
|
||
The reason german was selected was because when they don't have an
|
||
existing word they can sometimes assemble a new one from bits they already
|
||
have.Therefore non-british people who speak english should pronounce the
|
||
german phonetically.
|
||
I would like to appologise to any germans offended by this gross misuse of
|
||
their language,but its all done in the best possible taste.
