I like the way they solved this for the global reference time standard. In English it's called Cordinated Universal Time (CUT) but in French it's called Temps Universel Coordonné (TUC).
Apparently, both sides wanted to use their preferred acronym globally and wouldn't budge. The problem was only solved by eventual agreement to use UTC, which doesn't make sense in either language, but I guess at least it's fair that way.
NATO logo but everyone is as entitled as the Fr*nch:
(Yes, I know most of these official languages use "NATO" but that's exactly what makes the French entitled.)
I guess AB is Germany? Just because they like to string their words together...
Nord-Atlantik-Vertrags-Organisation or Nordatlantikvertragsorganisation (NAVO) would be German.
AB is Swedish, as everything in Sweden is an Aktiebolag ;)(Just kidding. NATO in Swedish is Nordatlantiska fördragsorganisation(en), NAFO)
NAFO CONFIRMED
Swedish is Nordatlantiska fördragsorganisationen
When NATO was formed, French was the lingua franca, and as such it made sense to put the French acronym on the logo. I suppose it's still there because they didn't want to change it.
I always thought it's so the MiGs can read what's shooting them down in the rear view mirror
The ol, Organized Treaty of Atlantean Northerners
Will there be a French equivalent when POTATO becomes a thing?
