In a marketing brochure for a very expensive wellness hotel, there was constant talk about \"ruin.\" From the context, it was very difficult to tell if they were talking about the ruined castle on the hill above the hotel, or about financial ruin. Ooops...

Their ruin Mar 18, 2003

If it was their own ruin they were talking about you can be sure that if mentioned often it would be their castle that was the object. Personal ruin is rarely mentioned by those directly involved.

another Austrian blooper (for Italian speakers) Mar 23, 2003

the website of an Austrian hotel (no link available, sorry) translated the \"member highlights\" into Italian: \"punti culminanti del membro\" (did they mean Gliedspitzen???)
