I know you think that's wrong. I'm willing to let that one go if people agree that what Anglos call "Pineapple" is really "Ananas".

The Dutch decided that the solution to political instability (three failed governments in five years) is a government with mostly the same parties but without a majority in parliament.

AGI will be when the machine says "I can't, but don't you have one on your phone already?"

Co-pilot expands Yorkshire to pretty much the whole of the Danelore with a new capital of Manchesto. It has merged the river Ouse with the other river Ouse. We now have the Yokhire Dales. Lancashire had been replaced with Nothern Ireland!
