ETA per discussion in comments the following is an inappropriate and racist way to talk; apologies.

Today's horrible Turkish fact: "randevu" means "appointment". Because how else are you going to write "rendezvous". OBVIOUSLY.

(I can't actually talk here, given the flavours of German I speak - in Austrian we call potatoes earth-apples and in Swiss we call bicycles velo, and yet.)

Thank you for saying; 'tis entirely fair on all counts. I think I'm not going to edit this post (unless you'd thus prefer?) for the sake of accountability and clarity-of-record, but I'll take more care writing in future. (If & only if you'd like I'm willing to go into more detail about motivations/intentions here, not because I think it's relevant to the point you're making but because *handwave* about interpersonal stuff & comfort with me & better modelling about what shit I might pull in future that you didn't expect.)

Thank you. I'll skip the motivation/intention thing -- I appreciate the point in comment above about how this might come off differently in person, but online here it comes off like hipster ironic racism (I'm including earlier post here w/the "fuck off" to Turkish for having a different kind of accusative than one expects/than one finds likely or useful or sensible from a certain personal location/history). Turkish as a language, Turkey as a country/as a people -- I don't feel like it's the same thing to say their language, the way they speak is horrible, etc. as it is to comment on perceived quirks of western languages, regardless of intent.

Understood. Again, thank you for saying, & apologies.
