SWENGLISH SLIP-UPS 21
Most people shorten the word approximately to ‘approx’, mainly because nobody is quite sure how to spell it. However, one should always be careful when shortening words. At a conference in London recently I saw a Swedish conference delegate going round with ‘Stig Bengtsson, Sales Ass’ on the name badge on his lapel.
Colin’s comment: Which is only slightly better than Sven’s name badge: ‘Sven Nilsson, VD’ . Sven probably wondered why he was having difficulty making contact with fellow delegates.
(Swedish: VD = British English ‘Managing Director’, American English President or CEO.)
