I don't get it why they pick english words to describe things in PT that don't mean the same in english. Like "smoking" and "outdoor".

@Brunno don't forget about "disk-pizza" instead of "disque-pizza" lmao no sense at all

@Swarley I'm so glad Dutch is not the only language that fucks that up XD @Brunno the article actually explains most of the origins of the misunderstandings! As far as I read, most wrong names come from brandnames (like beamer for projector)
