Very much this. Every time I run into an editor that tries to be clever and have un/redo move through history multiple characters at a time I frequently find myself having to undo-undo-undo-anoyed-redo-angryThinking-undo-retype (alternately ...angryThinking-retype depending on which save point is farther from what I actually wanted) cycles.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The last (correct one) - Had to construct that word, sound of which made sense and then checked if it existed.

No (not easy) too many options - the answer was the only other word I could think of.

... and thus ends an illustrious 70+ streak.
I knew it was a guessing game after try 3.
I had 3 slots left and 5 words (at least) to try.

You'll see them in Norway, too.
The "humorous" part is of course based on taking a word in one language to be interpreted according to a different language. What you see on the internet is usually when that 'different' language is American (/English). USAians rarely realize that we can get just as good a laugh from American terms interpreted in a non-American (/English) language. The joke is the same, the only the audience is usually smaller.
(Do you ask for an example? One Norwegian newspaper presented the national team of female gymnastics as 'Norgest mest fitte jenter' - Norway's most fit girls. Problem is that 'fitte' is a rather vulgar term for c*nt.)
'Time' means 'hour', both in Danish and Norwegian. I guess a lot of English speakers never realized that a 'whore' is a woman that you have for one 'hour'.

Languages are funny. So does 2 timer mean 2 hour?
Joke: Horny man who was so drunk he spent all night looking for a warehouse.
True Story: A Chinese friend of mine from college told me about the time he went crazy studying when he heard his statistic professor said on a Wednesday that the final exam would be next Friday. He stayed up all night Thursday studying for it only to find out Friday there was no exam. The phrase in American English "next Friday" does not mean "this Friday" but refers to the Friday in the next week, or as we would say "Friday next". Needless to say he aced the exam.
