I’m guessing it was someone doing translations, getting confused, playing it safe, and accidentally recreating Old English.

This is either Chinese or Japanese on the sign. But Japanese derrived from Chinese so both langues have the same origin for a lot of words:

Male 男 is a compound word of Field and Strength.

Woman 女 is a pictogram of a woman with breasts kneeling. A bit easier to see in the non-modern symbol. And pretty blatant when you compare it to the modern symbol for mother 母 which is taking the old symbol and adding two nipples.

So nothing in the original language for this translation error to make sense.

But English has roots for “feman” to technically make sense. In Old English there used to be “man” meaning “person” and “wif” meaning “female”. This turned in to “wifman” meaning woman. Recently “wif” turned into “wife” and “wifman” turned in to “woman”.

In their language there are two distinct words for “woman” and “man” so when they got “male” for 男 they went “ok cool now on to 女”, and got “female”. Now that’s basically the same word… So they backed up and retranslated 男 to “man”… Then got “woman” for 女.

Now pretty unsure they looked up “man” and got that it could just mean “person”. Then they put “male” “man” for male person. Then they got really confused and instead of “female” “man” for “female person” they cut out the “male” and put “fe” “man” essentially re-inventing the word “wifman”.

And finally somewhere along the way they found out about prefixes which fe- kinda acts like so that’s why there’s a space in “male man” and no space in “feman”

UnverifiedAPK,

Well you have me- from proto-european which means to measure.

Then you have metrical (metricus/metrikos from Latin/Greek) that means to measure rhythm in poetry.

Mētrum/Metron again from Latin/Greek meaning “measure, length, size, limit, proportion”

Then “metre” which is originally a unit of length. Then you have a “metre stick” which is a stick used to measure a metre. You can blame the French for basically calling it a “measurement stick” but it refers to a very specific measurement.

Then you have the -or suffix in Latin which means “to have to do with” or “to pertain to”. Then that turns in to -re and -er in Old English.

And like everything else - Brittan used both for centuries before deciding one was “right” and everyone else is at fault for the other way (just like how “Soccer” is a British term). Famously Shakespeare used both -re and -er.

Lastly, the US uses the metric system for its professions. It’s layman’s terms that don’t use metric.

UnverifiedAPK,

Blame the French actually, they invaded and screwed everything up beyond repair.

You fly to cities/airports, not countries. There’s no way people are screwing that up.

UnverifiedAPK,

You should still be eating protein…

UnverifiedAPK,

I’m not vegetarian or vegan, but occasionally do a diet with my wife that makes us get creative with food. Here’s a few things I still eat:

Pad Thai is a good place to start

Oreos are surprisingly vegan

Taco Bell’s bean burrito, actually most Mexican food can just replace the meat with refried beans.

Bacon bits are vegan, toss them on some pasta like Cacio e Pepe

Chipotle’s chorizo is fake pork sausage, get it in either a bowl or a burrito.

Then the classics:

  • tomato soup with grilled cheese
  • peanut butter and jelly
  • pancakes
  • mac & cheese
  • All cakes and pies (well excluding chicken pot & Shepard’s)
UnverifiedAPK,

Unless OP put it somewhere in the comments the word Hindu wasn’t used.

There is a 25 item limit. I see people with 40+ items in self checkout all the time. It just bogs down what used to be a fast thing.

Where? Self checkout isn’t express checkout. I don’t think express checkout has been a thing for 5+ years.

Edit: Lol also I appreciate this as a major reason you don’t use self checkout. That’s completely fair:

Self checkout is constantly populated by old folks

UnverifiedAPK,

Yeah pretty sure flowers would have already had to have been there to be blooming. Not a lot of birds migrating to Antarctica spreading seeds.
