Garmin, My New Dialect Coach

I have to confess how easily amused I am by the little things.  I laugh everytime I hear Garmin pronounce "Socastee" in foreign languages.  It sounds equally as silly in Portugeuse as it does in Danish. 

It's not that I need a navigation system to get around a town where I've lived for thirty years.  I've been using my driving time to learn different dialects so I can speak better gibberish while performing with Carolina Improv Company.  We play a game called Foreign Movie which requires us to "speak" a language suggested by the audience.  Being able to do that has been a challenge for me.  But then I recalled when we first got Garmin.  We would set the language to Mandarin then set a location opposite of our destination and listen as Garmin cursed us and tried to reroute us.  It was fun on a budget at it's finest.  

Inspiration - I found my short cut to gibberish!  I preloaded settings for Radio City Music Hall, Disneyworld and Graceland and now pick one and a different language.  It looks about as goofy as singing when you're alone in the car or talking on a blue tooth headset so the fear of looking crazy is gone.  And I can say "recalculating" in 4 languages plus 3 English dialects.

I'm hoping the next Garmin update will include Klingon.
