When youʻre translating sentences from a worksheet into Hawaiian for homework, whilst chatting in Russian to your wife whoʻs just come in from work, and listening to Eko Fresh rapping in both Turkish and German followed by Joe Dassinʻs "Salut" in the background, and you realize...this is probably not quite normal outside our Forum.

...when you're driving and see a car numberplate with the letters PSY and immediately think 'nominative plural of dog' ('pies' in Polish). You then drive the rest of the journey scanning passing numberplates for declensions. Edited by Mooby on 05 June 2015 at 5:34pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

When you go to visit die Residenz in Munich with your wife and two kids, and when the lady at the reception asks which language she should set the audioguide to, your wife answers Spanish, your kids say English and you want German. I'll never forget the expression on her face...
