Oh, and about that "Germans don't play Scrabble" one...

Chuckles....."
...I worked for a company that converted to German software - SAP. We had training meetings for months. In one meeting we ran into a command where there were 4 or 5 options and one was still in German. It was a long word that looked like pure gibberish. We asked why that word was not translated and he replied that nobody could tell what it meant. He explained that in German they create words by combining other words and sometimes the meaning is lost to all but the creator.
