In the UK 06:48 Oct 14, 2010
We talk about 'League Division 4' etc., and speak of 'the 4th division', but in most other European countries, this construction does not seem to be used, in favour of a more literal translation; I have to admit that to my GB ears, this always makes it sound like a translation, just because it does not mirror the everyday language I am familiar with at home. However, note that the UK now has its 'Premier League' (note: no 'division'), which seems therefore to follow other European usage. |
