The Confusion Of Mass Violence

I don’t know if it was because of my trip to the homeland Fryslân, in the The Netherlands -  where they speak the official second national language: Frysk -, or something else, but it seemes like language is starting to mess up things a little. Working as a journalist in Dutch, living in Berlin speaking, of course German, communicate both online and interrelational in English. Et moi, j’apprends le Francais pour ma copine et ma future vie peut etre la.

Anyhows. I was nodding in the U-bahn as i woke up with a view on this EXTREME AD shown above. I read, half sleeping, something about: “massageweld” which in Dutch means: MASS VIOLENCE. But then, finally awake, I realised it was German I was reading, and the meaning quite the opposite: “massagewelt” with a T on the end, is to be understood as: WORLD OF MASSAGES
