No different from japanese characters on tattoos/clothes or whatever the gently caress. Putting something in your own language on there might get you in trouble/shanked/killed. UNIVERSITY ANUS GUITARR EST. 1284, on the other hand, is completely neutral

Oberleutnant posted:I'd put it down to the rise in aviation and modern technical fields developing so rapidly in anglophone nations that only the english language fully developed the specialised technical vocabulary; to the extent that many foreign nations still teach these fields using exclusively English textbooks. In one of the lectures that DeGrasse Tyson gave he talks about how the technologically superior culture that makes major discoveries pretty much gets exclusive naming rights to things. Scientific names of plants/animals are in Latin because Aristotle was the one that started classifying them. There are a poo poo load of stars with Arabic names because they were the ones to really catalog the night sky. And it's why any website in the US doesn't have lame rear end poo poo like au, de, fl, or uk in the domain name since American Al Gore invented the internet.

A SWEATY FATBEARD posted:Yugoslavia was not a bloc country and there was nothing stopping you from shopping abroad, except for the nasty customs tax upon return. People often went to great lenghts to make sure they wouldn't be taxed at the border - for example, people often went shopping for clothes in Trieste, Italy, and consumer electronics were usually bought in Vienna, Austria. When going on a shopping spree, you'd put on the nastiest, junkiest clothes on you, knowing that you won't be wearing them upon return. You'd buy clothes, then change into them on the Italian side of the border, dumping your old commie clothes in the gutter. The customs could never prove that you weren't wearing those clothes when you left the country, so it was a win-win situation. The roadside on the Italian side was always littered with old clothes, boxes and wrappers. That's still how it works when coming back into the EU and I suspect elsewhere too. Duty exemption is at about 100EUR and VAT exemption 30(?) so those new $300 boots? On the feet. Bought a new smartphone? Not taking the old one with you was a good idea. Sunglasses? Wear one pair, clip second pair on the shirt. Nothing suspicious there  Coohoolin posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVdsbF-aIAk This video is loving amazing, though 90% of that is only if you understand Russian.

A Winner is Jew posted:Scientific names of plants/animals are in Latin because Aristotle was the one that started classifying them. Aristotle was Greek. Taxonomy was invented by Carl Linnaeus, a Swede, who published the first systematic classification of life in Systema Naturae in the mid eighteenth century, which was written in Latin because all scientific publications at that time were written in Latin. However, many (most?) species names are in Greek, and sometimes even mix Greek and Latin. It's possible (and I don't know/haven't read) that Aristotle named some species at some point, although he certainly didn't attempt to create a classifications system the way Linnaeus did. Incidentally, Linnaeus was a creationist, although not in the modern American sense. He did not think that his system reflected some natural relationship, but rather, was just convenient ways of grouping living things according to similarities they had - all of them were, in his belief, "created" by god, in their natural form.

Mid 18th century (1735 to be precise). Just saying because reading your post gave me a temporary "wait, was Linnaeus that early???" feeling. Sweden was an extremely poor and backward place in the 16th century - this is when Gustav Vasa broke free from Danish union and turned Sweden to Protestantism, not the Great Power the kingdom was when Linnaeus was born. Actually, he was born two years before Charles XII & his cossack allies lost to Peter the Great at Poltava, an event that sealed the fate of Ukraine for almost three centuries.

I always do that for some reason (subtract 1 instead of adding 1 to get what umpteenth century a given date belongs to).

Those wallpapers remind me - even today, Russians have this idea that if something is imported, it has to be awesome by default. A few months ago I asked a Russian friend about hideous 70s decor, and he replied by saying that you can't live in an apartment without wallpapwers. Yes you can, I replied, because noone in western europe has put up wallpapers since 1976. He then said that his wallpapers were imported from France, and he was very confused when I said that the factory in France keeps churning out ugly wallpapers simply because they have a huge market in Russia, exporting 95% of their products there because there is always a fashion-blind Russian willing to drop sick cash on trite and hideous poo poo wallpapers, simply because everyone else is doing it as well.
