Had me thinking this was about Henry IV of Lancaster at first, and I was confused for a second because I was fairly certain that Henry predated the protestant reformation.

I was about to come in here and say the same thing. The great helm is iconic, but the frogmouth is just both cool and practical.

There was an episode of the American children’s TV series Adventure Time in which the characters watch some Swedish archival footage, but they had to put “ÄNDEN FILM” at the end of it because they didn’t want to display “SLUT” to the primarily English speaking audience.

Context always helps, I’d say.

In English, you can say “dirty person” and “dirty child”, but then “dirty boy” and “dirty girl” have sexual connotation behind them. No change in any word function, just how it’s paired.

Lockheed is the company that fucked up by using US customary, for any curious.
