I don't really know. I'm only in Germany for meetings (we did need one at the last one though, which acutally means my boss and I won a bet), but I'm guessing Krankenwagen. We'd say 'Rettung' in Vienna, so it's pretty different.

I could care less as long as I get the point. There's enough stuff to stress myself out with in the world. This one just doesn't seem like a biggie to me..
I didn't bother to read the rest of this thread, so forgive me if someone else has already jumped on this.
One perversion of the english language that drives me insane is that stupid phrase 'I could care less', the use of which seems to be mostly an american phenomenon. It makes no bloody sense! Think about it. What you mean is that you don't care, but if you 'could care less' then you're saying that you do actually care a little bit, because to not care would be to care less than the amount that you care now. If you really don't care you should say 'I COULDN'T care less'.
On the other hand Abookamongstthemany is hot, so I'll let her get away with this time, but next time, I'm coming over there to slap you about with a dictionary.
It doesn't matter if you're male, female, or confused; black, white, brown, red, green, yellow; gay, lesbian; redneck cop, stoned; ugly; military style, doggy style; fat, rich or poor; vegetarian or cannibal; bum, hippie, virgin; famous or drunk-you're either an asshole or you're not!

i fucking hate the phrase "could care less"
" i could care less " .... WTF??? care less then... care so little that it becomes impossible for you to care less... by saying "I could care less" means that you do actually care a small bit at the present..
i.e. "what do you think of Chinese policy on space travel"...."oh I could care less".... "so you do care a little then"......"nahhhh, i could care less"...
fuck me... its "i couldn't care less" thereby implying you are at the lowest ebb of caring about something that you simply couldn't care anymore
also "i'm studying math at university"..... REALLY????? how fucking easy is that...... one shitey wee sum??? MATH is singular and therefore implies just ONE... MATHS, now that implies something a whole lot more.... thats a subject matter...
*end rant*
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

I think "many" is a plural indefinite pronoun, so "there are so many..." would be correct here. "There's so many..." is incorrect.
In addition, English and American both are derived from proper nouns, so they should be capitalized.

I more have a problem with people who use certain words too much...
as in
Like.. Like you know what I mean, he was so like cute, like do you get what like I'm saying?
also "i'm studying math at university"..... REALLY????? how fucking easy is that...... one shitey wee sum??? MATH is singular and therefore implies just ONE... MATHS, now that implies something a whole lot more.... thats a subject matter...
The abbreviation of mathematics is "maths" in the UK and "math" in the US.
that'd be a shit letter, just the word 'you' written out on a page... boring as fuck!
its 'I'll write to you'........
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
But it's an abbreviation, you stop writing the word after you hit the "h" so you get math.
thats just fucking lazy!!!
we have 2 IT Technicians at my work and they get called Techs... not Tech... that doesnt make sense...
"get the Tech in"
"which one?"
"both them...."
"but you said Tech... which one!?"
"both... its an abbreviation dumbass"

I beg your pardon. One does have to make quite the thoroughgoing effort with one's grammar in this thread. To make even the most trifling of errors seems to elicit a nimiety of pedagogic recriminations.

And anyway, there's so many great alternative phrases that are so much more expressive.
This is interesting. It explains a theory on how just one aspect of the american version of english came to be so fucked up.

you're telling me stuff i already know!
fair enough if it was called mathematic... then math would be okay, but its mathematics... it's plural..
also, 'I'll write you'...... WTF!! I'll write you!!!
