So, I have a main account, where I’m the asshole editor with lots of opinions, and then two others for things a bit more spicy.
Both of those have been suspended for “suspicious activity” roughly 30 hours apart. For, you know, posting what I usually do.
The thing is, one of these – I’m in the eight-year club there – is associated with an email address that was terminated for lack of use, so I can’t reset my password as prescribed.
The other was suspended yesterday every single time I posted anything, resulting in multiple password resets. I’ve not posted anything there today, but … hey, look, it’s suspended again.
Is Reddit just making a hard turn toward banning adult content? r/help seems to have a few other people in my boat wondering what the fuck is going on, but I can’t find any sources suggesting a shift in policy. And I can’t post in r/help on my main … the submit button does nothing.
Ah, the classic Chevy Nova problem with translation.
Whatwas the problem with translating Chevy Nova?
Apocryphal.
Supposedly, “No va” means “no go”, or “It doesn’t run” in Spanish.
It’s largely a myth. The Nova actually sold very well in Latin American countries.
Oh, I’ve got one too, the way you pronounce SX7 as in the Suzuki model in Hungarian literally means “falls apart”, “esik szét”.
Also Tesco was selling cheap power tools for a while branded Kinzo, meaning “torturer” in Hungarian.
Ford Kuga. The word kuga means plague in my language, and—according to Wikipedia—as a result the model has had lower sales in the region.
Plus if this was accurate Portuguese speakers would get banned all the time. (“Nova” is “new”, so a really common word.)
I do know what Powderhorn is talking about, but by a different name - the Scunthorpe problem.
I’ll just leave this here.
I heard it from my middle school Spanish teacher, but per Wikipedia, you’re correct
