Conference rooms for conferencesThis from a three-star hotel which lists ‘translation from and into all languages’ among the services it offers. A very comfortable hotel to be staying in, mind you, except that
  • it's center in Yankland and centre in the rest of the world—but nowhere both on adjacent lines!;
  • English punctuation doesn't call for quotation marks around the names of hotels, Bulgarian punctuation does;
  • disposer de may mean ‘have’ in French, but in English dispose of doesn't mean that—it means ‘do away with, get rid of’. (How do they actually dispose of those conference rooms?)
