Actually we should also mock Estonian, as it is very similar to Finnish
Batman in Estonian is "nahkhiiremees" (wtf ), literelly meaning bat man, although Batman (pronounced Bätmän) is actually used in regular talk
Hockey is "jäähoki"
Birth is "sünnitamine"
Football is "jalgpall", literally meaning foot ball
Volume is "helitugevus", meaning sound strength
Ingredient is "koostisosa", meaning ingredient part

Calculator means computer in romanian
The French have the same "problem". But they hold a grudge against the English and are preferring horrible French expressions any time they can.
In the dragon case, it is. But in the football/soccer case it is not.
But none the less, American English isn't a separate language, but a variant of English. And as the USA doesn't have an official language, you cannot really use their flag as a marker for any language.
The more you know...
It is and at the same time is not hilarious.uk_daf_fan wrote:The fact that one of those pictures on the previous page separated American English and English into different languages is just hilarious .

You can call American English a dialect of UK English because it is recognisable to anyone from both countries. The Scots language in fact varies greatly from English but is classed as a dialect. However you never see any Scottish flags on these pictures. In the same way there are no Austrian flags for Austrian dialects of German. It is never necessary to separate different dialects of English into languages because they are universally understood by any English speaker.
