Germans confused by English terms


GERMANY’S national rail company is to drop some of its English-language marketing terms after passengers complained they could not understand them, a spokesman said last week.

“For example, ‘Counter’ will become ‘Schalter’, ‘Hotline’ will become ‘Servicenummer’ and ‘Flyer’ will become ‘Handzettel’,” Reinhard Boeckh of Deutsche Bahn revealed.
