And then UPC (my local cable company) put all of Discovery into Hungarian and I strongly suspect the person doing the translation hasn't got a brilliant command of English, regularly they mix up hundreds and thousands, so an experienced fighter pilot has 300 hours of stick time Roll Eyes

or my favourite was when a xeno-biologist working for NASA became an ex-biologist Grin

On thing about Bob The Builder when "translated" for the American market, it takes longer to say "Bob" than it does "The Builder".......

Maybe the producers think that American children wouldn't be able to understand a British accent. Roll Eyes

I've never had trouble with it, but I know a few people who do. Once in high school I quoted Monty Python in my best Brit accent, and some girl goes "I don't speak *frinch!"

*obviously not, she couldn't even pronounce it. Of course, this is the same person who argued with the history teacher about whether or not there were two world wars. Roll Eyes

Doesn't say a lot for your best Brit accent. Tongue
