Great wee thread, it's nice to see people having a bit of fun. Language is a funny beast I know this for a factas I am Scottish and English is my second language. [:D]

Panzerkampfwagen means armored fighting vehicle.

Let's break it [panzerkampfwagen] down to individual words and see what Wikipedia says about each of them.

Panzer
in German
in English

Kampf
in German
in English

Wagen
in German
in English

So panzerkampfwagen = tank combat wagon ... wait a moment...

I can't believe people are this stupid.

If we dig deeper here is what you can get.

The break down definitions of Wikipedia:

Definition of wiki
: a website that allows visitors to make changes, contributions, or corrections
Definition of pe
: the 17th letter of the Hebrew alphabet — see Alphabet Table
Definition of dia-
: di-
prefix
through, throughout, or during: diachronic
across: diactinic
apart: diacritic
(in botany) at right angles: diatropism
in opposite or different directions: diamagnetism

They just mixed the prefix with the suffix to confuse us? [:-]

Maybe we need to see the defintion's definition as: wagon combat tank?

After a few more drinks I may have to look at this again. [8|]

I think you need to come down from the Highlands. Not enough oxygen for the brain there. [;)]

Wasn't this about a game's name?

The "DIA" part of the breakdown is patently wrong. EVERYONE knows that Dia is one of the Rhea sisters! (alongside her sister Gona)

Perhaps the Government should ban the 3rd letter in the alphabet. From now on, the letter "K" or "S" will be used in its plase. Kongress would deklare that any further use will result in a fine. The nation's kapital will be renamed Washington, D. K. and our sitizens Amerikans. This should kap any kontinuing konfusion.
Holy Krap!

LMAO! And can you guess what makes it even funnier? That something like that was done with Finnish language!

[edit]
I'm serious here. When Finnish language was made official (or when first books were written on it), C used to be in heavy use. Nowadays it has been replaced by K.

Kiitos!

Or is it ciitos?
