You know what I hate about the german language? That they use english words in totally wrong ways. You know how the germans call it when for example a soccer game is broadcasted on a public space for hundreds of people to watch?
Public viewing. I kid you not, they call it public viewing.
Now, anyone with half an education in english knows that "public viewing" means something completely different in english.

Yes, we use the word "Handy" as a term for mobile.
But we also use the term smart-phone.
I know that 'handy' means something absolutely different in english, but so does 'mobile', doesn't it? A mobile thing is handy, after all.
