I've just come home from a weeks holiday in Rome with 3 of my friends. We had a great time and ate in some really nice places. The reason I'm writing about this here is because I wanted to mention the English we saw on the menus. Now I know it's quite unfair to put it on here which is why I don't have any specific examples; and I know that at least they put their menus in English, you wouldn't find many restaurants here that would put their menu in another language. But still, it was quite amusing at times how they spelled various words and also if they didn't know the English word they would just repeat the Italian :)
I would like to point out again that I was extremely impressed with their attempt to make everything understandable to us English lot who seem to refuse to learn other languages efficiently enough to be able to converse with people, even when we're in their country. Despite this, I still thought it worth a mention :)
