You should try sailing on a polyglot boat.
Well, Flenglish (Flemish-English) with liberal dollops of French.
One of the reasons we never take crew, no-one would have a clue what any of us were saying.

When we were world cruising we had a box containing 15 different plugs for electric shore-power connections. We still have it but things have improved. Only UK and USA are still blasted awkward. Is there something wrong with les pays anglo-saxons?

Well, probably that the machinery / moulds used to fabricate the US or UK plugs and sockets have not been paid off yet or have not been profitable enough for the makers and they still have a few years life in them... and anyway, why should they be the ones to change their plugs? Let the rest of the world adopt their ways, after all most of people adopt the anglo-saxon way of life/thinking. Even our national hyperactive bumhole of a french président is doing it...
