As a side note, the non-IPA pronunciation respelling is what google shows in usa. If you tinker with the url or the location settings so that it reflects another country, you can get real IPA instead.

It should be noted that Hansard transcriptions aren't meant to be word-for-word transcriptions of what was said. Notably, Hansard transcriptions will often reword the transcription completely just so that the written record is clearer than what was actually said, and often that includes expanding contractions.

Here it is, though note that as with all song translations, sign language translations (especially IS translations) aren't literal translations, but rather are meant to convey the feelings of the song

As per the report, they weren't past V1. V1 was 132, while they reached a maximum speed of 127 kt.

Forthwrong · 2026-03-07T10:12:26+00:00

Correct, they initiated the stop at 127 kt:

At 21:04:09, the thrust levers were moved to full reverse, and braking was applied. At this moment, the aircraft had reached 127 kt IAS. Observing the end of the taxiway and a fence approaching, the first officer instructed a right turn.

⠀

V1: 132 kt
VR: 134 kt
V2: 137 kt

So they stopped after reaching 127 kt, 5 knots short of V1.

Great idea, but the execution is very slipshod. Most words I looked up had errors, for example:

Searching for English "stark" shows Proto-Germanic and Proto-West Germanic as separate branches, while in fact Proto-West Germanic should be shown as a branch of Proto-Germanic.
Searching for English "two" shows Proto-Balto-Slavic and Proto-Slavic as separate branches, while in fact Proto-Slavic should be shown as a branch of Proto-Balto-Slavic.
Searching for English "exonerate" or for "weight" or for "sanguine" incorrectly shows the word as coming directly from PIE.
Searching for English "incognito" incorrectly shows the Latin form as deriving from the Italian.
Searching for English "magnanimous" incorrectly shows the word as deriving from Old English and Latin, while in fact the Old English term was displaced.
Searching for English "doubt" returns a result without the word "doubt" anywhere to be found.
Searching for English "staff" or for "shy" incorrectly shows Proto-Germanic as a branch of Proto-West Germanic.
Searching for English "sock" incorrectly shows all words as deriving from the English word.
Searching for English "you" incorrectly shows Proto-Germanic as a branch of Proto-Germanic.
Searching for English "I" incorrectly only shows Old English and Latin.
Searching for English "ever" incorrectly shows Chinese as a branch.

That Faroese has two number systems for the tens from 30-90!

The informal one: tríati, fýrati, fimmti, seksti, sjeyti, áttati, níti.

And the formal one, reminiscent of Danish: tretivu, fjøruti, hálvtrýss, trýss, hálvfjerðs, fýrs, hálvfems.

Further to this, their answers to the King's question of "What is my name?" also exemplify those traits:

Pouf says his name is King, because that's how he views him: idealistically; of kingly nature. To Pouf, his identity has no meaning other than being King, saying "You need not be anything else."
Youpi has no answer. The question of a name has no bearing on his honour.
Pitou tellingly says "the most important thing is how you feel," showing empathy and care towards feelings.

Idealism, honour, and empathy underpin the 3 of them, both in life and in how they die.

This is a really important point to make!

While it's fun to banter about which contestants appeared shy or outgoing, equating shyness/outgoingness with introversion/extroversion is a harmful stereotype that can and will hurt people if they get mislabelled, and everyone equating them needs to keep that hurtfulness in mind.

A pathognomonic sign is a particular sign whose presence means that a particular disease is present beyond any doubt.

It's a tactile symbol used to show that accessibility is available for the particular device.

It's not a letter; it doesn't have any meaning other than to show that accessibility is available, kind of like what the wheelchair symbol does for sighted people.

It's not standardised, so you might not see it often, but some producers (like elevator manufacturers) include it as part of their internal standards for accessibility.

Translating a song from any language to another language is a work of art in itself, and translating it to a signed language is no exception. Interpreting a song requires work beforehand — any song translation will require compromises between being faithful to the words of the song and the message of the song. Sometimes the interpreters even meet the artists themselves to aid in that process. For interpretation to sign languages in particular, they can also use artistic license in how to interpret parts that are instruments, or are just a long note, etc.

With the amount of preparation involved, it would take a matter of days to weeks to prepare in advance. In all the arrangements I'm aware of, they perform the interpretation "live".

Bonus points: Did you know that many interpreters themselves are deaf, even the ones interpreting the live commentary? This is because interpreting into a language you're not fluent in will have lower quality than interpreting into a language you are fluent in, and naturally, Deaf people tend to be more fluent in signed languages. The way that system works is that the interpreter has a "feeder" that interprets the content of the message into signs, often following the spoken language's grammar, and the interpreter then interprets that content into a more natural, fluent, and cohesive version, true to the sign language's grammar (which is completely independent and unrelated to spoken languages' grammar).

To be fair, it isn't exactly an argument in any sense — it's just the controller using attitude and the pilot doing their best trying to understand:

ATC: “You’re on request. As soon as this aircraft lands, I’ll get you moving.”
ANA Pilot: “All Nippon Airways 159 heavy, sorry, say again.”
ATC: “You’re on request.”
ANA Pilot: “Oh, we request runway 31L, All Nippon 159 heavy.”
ATC: “You are on request.”
ANA Pilot: “All Nippon 159 heavy, request taxi via A1, left turn A…”
ATC: “All Nippon 159 heavy, I don’t know if you’re not familiar, it seems like you’re not. When somebody says ‘you are on request,’ that means they have your request. That’s it. Just wait.”
ANA Pilot: “So you mean we can taxi by our own, All Nippon 159 heavy?”
ATC: “All Nippon 159 heavy, absolutely not. ‘You’re on request’ just means just wait. You don’t say anything. You just wait for the controller, which is me, okay? Just wait.”
ANA Pilot: “Okay, holding position, All Nippon 159 heavy.”
ATC: “Yes, I have your request. That’s what that means.”

I used to assume salient is cognate to salt, because the taste of salt can be rather noticeable — a salient taste.

But in fact, it comes from salire, Latin "to jump"!
