The British-English term "bonnet," for a car part, translates to the "hood" in American-English. I bet they wonder why the car's boot (trunk) is a reference to footwear here.
Today's Question:
What is the English name for the country once known as "Malagasy?"
This makes me think of Madagascar but I don't know.
