So yesterday was a day of silly linguistic situations.
I had lunch with a German colleague, bue we were discussing Italy. Particuarly, Venice.
She described one of her favorite spots in the lovely city of Venice. "It's just off the Marcusplatz," she informed me. I found it astonishingly droll that she, as worldly as she is, would use German words to rename Venice's gorgeous Piazza San Marco.
Later in the evening, I even got to tell this funny story to an Italian woman, in my broken (yet understandable) Italian.
(Yes, I speak a lot of languages.)
