        Leftmost: you can also say in, not really sure if "auf" would be correct or not in this case. You see "auf" for ships, not sure if that also counts for submarines..

        Freso: in german it is worse, we say "Auto" for Automobil, not that "auto" would make it technically distinct

      • 2015-06-14 16508, 2015

      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        freso, though afaik the "bil" denomination was a result of a vote in amagazin/newspaper for what a the danish word for "car" should be. and "bil" was chosen (from automobil) and was further imported to norway and sweden
      • 2015-06-14 16503, 2015

      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        while "ubåt/d" is just a simple foreshortening of "undervannsbåt" afaik.

      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        ok fine. I'm not saying that it's not possible that people used "automobil" aroudn the time

      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        ok? :)

        (That is, people might as well have voted for "bil" since they had already started using that word.)
      • 2015-06-14 16549, 2015

      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        well it was picked because it was part of "automobil" so

        What should the 'album artist' be for a karaoke compilation of remade songs. legally, the artist is the production company. Should I do [unknown] or 'Various Artists'?
      • 2015-06-14 16552, 2015

      • hibiscuskazeneko
        Probably either [unknown] or [no artist]

      • davygrvy
        ok... so for example, sound scapes of running water and waves splashing at the beach fir for [no artist], literally
