Uh? No, I think the point is that labels "Made in Turkey" ran the risk of being lazily translated to "Fabriqué en Dinde" in French by a misconfigured automatic translation software and you no longer have this problem if you use words spelt differently for the bird and the country. Nothing to do with "d'Inde".
- wiredfool 4y agoYep. That comment came remembering the pointing and laughing and explaining it to the kids. I do tend to check the labels, sometimes there are jokes hidden there. For example, a computer bag I have from during the Bush Administration has a label with the text: Ne pas secher a la machiene Ne pas repasser Nous sommes desoles que notre president soit un idiot. Nous n'avons pa vote pour lui.
