1. What has this to do with Slavic and East European languages and
literatures?
2. Unfortunately we who are not native speakers of English have to
use English as a lingua franca, and in so doing cannot help
producing from time to time sentences that are funny for native
speakers. Perhaps you would like to have all hotel instructions
and menus in Finnish, Hungarian or Dutch only in those
countries?
