When I get an email from RAI (Italian TV and radio) this morning and even though I know I never signed up to receive emails from them I don't mark it as spam because it is all in Italian. Edited by mick33 on 04 March 2013 at 9:15pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

A few minutes ago, I made a typographical error in English on Google that was so bad that one of Google's suggestions was "программа передач". I just had to know what language this was so I let Google search for it and all the results I looked at were for Russian websites. I don't think I can go to bed tonight until I am sure that "программа передач" is in fact a Russian phrase and then I have to know what it could mean in English and Italian.

Программа передач simply is a broadcasting schedule, программа meaning programme and передача meaning broadcast or transmission.

When for you, the highlight of the movie Life of Pi is the short sequence early in the film where they talk an Indian language, and you start wondering whether it was Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati or another language, and you decide to buy the DVD once it's released so that you can find out.
