If Google Translate is to be believed the Welsh language doe not differentiate between "Show us your knickers" and "Show us your knockers"

I don’t speak Welsh but recognise “fire exit” and road signs which are by law in both English and Welsh. What’s a bucket of ‘L’s” :?:

The father-in-law is a fluent Welsh speaker, but keeping a long story short, I give him stick about not using enough vowels and his overuse of the letter 'L' (which he seems to double up on and sounds like you need a throat full of phlegm to pronounce).
