Driving made easy

Israel is known for being a difficult place to drive. I know people who refuse to drive in Israel for fear of making a wrong turn or fear of Israeli drivers. At least the signs are clearly marked. Could you tell me please which way to Jerusalem and which way to Tel Aviv?

I hate Acronyms

Have you noticed how the English language has become a series of acronyms. I attend meetings and have conversations where I am totally lost because I am not up on the latest acronyms. Facebook, text messages and emails have not helped the situation. Soon we won't be able to read newspapers without a special acronym dictionary. What are they talking about below?

Perfect translation

In today's hi-tech world there is never an excuse for incorrect spelling or incorrect translations on signs, menus, or any printed material for that matter. But yet, we still discover it in so many places throughout the world.
I came across this sign in Israel on a road and at first thought the translation was incorrect. The meaning of the Hebrew word "borot" has two definitions. The first meaning pot holes, the second boors or ignorance. The sign could be translated as danger! pot holes on the road or danger! ignorance on the road. If you have ever driven in Israel I think you would agree that the definition chosen on the sign is correct.

Clothing drive

I came across an appeal in a local paper:
"Out of the Cold requires: Adult in good condition, winter coats and boots, fleece tops and pants, warm socks(new), travel toiletries. Please see flyer for location of drop offs."
It is important to donate our lightly used clothing but I am very curious as to where these guys are travelling to that they need travel toiletries.? And if it's a warm place maybe they should stay there for the winter!

Smoking on planes

The definition of inhibited is "unable to act in a relaxed and natural manner because of self-consciousness or mental restraint". The definition of hibited, by some, is the opposite of inhibited meaning "able to act relaxed and in a natural manner".
I was on a plane a little time ago and on the entertainment screen it read, " Smoking is strictly pornhibited". Pornhibited? So what does that exactly mean? We know what "porn" means and we know what "hibited" means. I did look through all the movies that were playing but found nothing that would allow one to smoke while watching a "movie" in a relaxed and natural way .
 I guess it was just a typo and smoking was strictly prohibited. Or maybe not? Megan?
