True story: I was giving a seminar on synthesis in Argentina, and referred to adding vibrato with the "rueda de modulacion." People looked at me with total confusion...some asked what the "rueda de modulacion" is, and I said it's the controller on the left side of the keyboard. "Ah, si, si! Yo comprendo...el mod wheel!" Seems they just called it a mod wheel....

Another True Story: I was playing a wedding and doing the throwing of the bouquet and garter routine. When it came time to have the guy who caught the garter, put it on the girl who caught the bouquet, the girl was bashful. I also knew she was visiting from Poland and couldn’t speak English. In my limited polish vocabulary I said “Chodź tu dziewczyny prosię” which should have been “Come here girl please”. She was highly insulted. I found out I should have said “Chodź tu dziewczyny proszę” Very similar, but what she heard was “Come here girl pig”.
 
I had ham and egg on my face…

 I'm just tired of people who are lazy in the this country....ah but don't get me started on that!

You know, despite the constant myopia, the United States isn't the only country in the world. The OP is in Sweden.

well, I want to thank the OP for starting this thread. As a result I now understand what pan laws are and feel vindicated for leaving them well alone.

Now there's either a man that saves his legs from trips back to the bar or always looks out for his drinking buddy...

I think it's a matter of courtesy to order for the lady as well.

Not 100% sure since it's been ages since doing an OMF import, but I think if you're doing an OMF import from another DAW, it's important to have the panning law in your DAW be the same as the panning law in the source DAW.
