Languages are interesting, and confusingly far from universally knavish.

I once had a friend who came back into a restaurant we were in and said: "My car won't start." So, I said: "Which is your car, I'll go take a look?" She replied: "The green one." I asked: "Make and model?" She said: "How should I know? It's green." I replied: "Ok. When you're driving your car, chances are that on the steering wheel there's a badge or name or something. Any idea what it says?" She replied: "Nope".

"My car does not work" is about as much as some people can manage.

People who can’t be bothered to know the make and model of car they own and drive shouldn’t be allowed to drive.

The same person also referred to the air cleaner as "that slide projector thingy".
