"Results for “Hello” “hell” English: heck Direct match at start or end, potentially serious issue! 335 million native speakers, about 1.5 billion speakers in total." Isn't that overdoing it a little?

And this, kids, is how a Spanish hater looks like. If anyone is interested, Catalan[1] is a Latin language spoken in Catalonia and other areas of the North East of Spain, South of France and a city in Italy. It is also the official language of a country: Andorra. It has about 10 million speakers[2], a bit more that Swedish, that is an official working language in the EU. Its use has been forbidden in Spain during 300…
And this, kids, is one of the many problems with some Catalonian people. Persecutory delusion. "Spain hates us".
And I did because I think that your comment stating that Catalan language and culture are a "political experiment" is not only offensive to Catalans -and anybody a little common sense- but also shows that you have a huge lack of understanding about Spanish culture and history.

I want to start a razor startup now just so I can call it Janksnor.
Or a brutally fast Handlebars implementation.
Yeah, also, a classic one we had here in Sweden: Honda released this new small car model named "Honda Fitta", and one of the slogans were something like "small on the outside, large on inside". In Swedish, "Fitta" is a crude word for female genitalia. The car was quickly renamed "Honda Jazz".

This has the hallmarks of an urban legend: Japanese car manufacturers do have previous form with the Toyota MR2 and Mitsubishi Pajero, so the story is plausible; there's a moral here; and the story has not been followed all the way to its original source.

Wow. American-English swear words pale in comparison.
In particular "older" diseases that are less common in modern days, like tuberculosis (tering-), cholera (klere/kolere), typhoid (tyfus), plague (pest-) and pox (pokke-) are popular as general insults, adjective or interjection.
"Cancer" (kanker) is also used a lot, but is considered almost universally to be in bad taste, because nearly everybody knows or has lost someone they know to cancer, whether it's highschool kids or in "polite company".
More modern diseases (Ebola/H5N1/Swineflu/SARS/etc) are being used as well, but mainly for comedic effect.
It reminded me of this major company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osram whose name happens to be "future tense conjugation of verb >to shitIt was founded in 1919 when the website didn't exist yet

>Spain has an entire verb tense that is not in Mexican Spanish. Are you sure you mean tense? The verb has an additional form in each tense because of vosotros, but there are no additional tenses so far as I know.
The first person informal plural (vos, vosotros) form of verbs isn't used outside Spain. Or maybe it's just not used in Latin America. Source: high school Spanish.
