I saw the language code ES and was convinced it was for estonian for a while.. Before I realised it wasn't.
@sotolf@polymaths.social embarassingly, I always get confused of my own country code
"is it UK, or is it GB... isn't UK Ukraine? no, that's UA, so I must be UK oh but no I'm not I'm GB, unless we're talking about keyboard layouts when it's UK, and the TLD is .uk. oh my this is such a mess" - my brain
@paul Yeah, we, have 4 codes no for norwegian the spoken langauge or in general nb for written bokmål nn for written nynorsk, then there is smi for the saami languages, I don't know how standard that is though. But at least they are decently logical and not confusing. Not the whole en_gb, en_uk, thing going on :p
Yep, that's pretty much the mess of it.
Frankly I say give Ukraine UK and we'll use GB everywhere. Job done.
