I got it because I have a terrible game guide for Mario 64 (the eel is named Unagi in it)

I know it's terrible because multiple enemies are referred to by their Japanese names and ALL of the star names have a different name.

It's like it was directly translated from Japanese despite the game guide coming out after the international releases and it would probably be easier to use the names from the game.

I mean, is the Japanese word for "eel" something someone really needs to know? Friends is a very popular show, so a lot of people would recognize from that. It's not like "unagi" is some term of colossal historical importance.

"Unagi" is just the Japanese word for eel, freshwater or otherwise. The most common species used in Japanese cuisine is the appropriately named Japanese eel, which is a catadromous species, meaning it spawns in the ocean, before heading to freshwater later in life.

I know that one person has already written about it, but as a proud Polish I wanna summarise one case: Marie's (in Polish Maria) name was Skłodowska-Curie, and it is unfortunately often forgotten that she took her husband's (Pierre) name but also kept hers. What I'm trying to say is that I would be grateful if the creator edited that. Maybe it can prevent people from making that mistake in the future.

accept "norman," "norman french", "anglo-norman", and "anglo-normand" for the motto, in addition to French?

Particularly since this quiz has already seeded the thought of norman by mentioning the norman conquest. Yes, "dieu et mon droit" matches the spelling conventions of modern french, but since other phrases associated with the royals, like "honi soit qui mal y pense" are specefically norman rather than french, I would think a lot of people would go in that direction.

It was supposedly common for women to keep their maiden name but be adressed with their husbands surname at that time. At least in France. Her own business card as professor at the Faculty of Sciences in Paris read "Madame P. Curie" and she is most known as Marie Curie internationally.
