I'm not a native English speaker so you (and everyone else here) are probably right. I thought it meant the same thing as the Swedish word "flera" whilst the proper translation seems to be "ett flertal"

Yeah, your probably right; my English ain't perfect. A few would probably have been better to use as @[email protected] pointed out

It's just me thinking of what I ordered people near me would do. But I'm not a native English speaker so my feel for the language might be wrong; I'm from Sweden (and my mother tongue is Swedish).

If you ask someone for "multiple" of something their almost always going to give you three of that thing (or nothing). In that context multiple is just three and as @[email protected] pointed out, if I use triple I could as well keep going with higher numbers (quadrupole etc)

And they also decided to put "not applicable" in the center

I know at least one; window. You took that from the Swedish word vindöga, wind eye, that means the same thing as window. But it's no longer used in Swedish as it doesn't really make sense since we have windows made of glass now and not just holes in the wall

The really long ones are a pain to say to as well. You're kind of Strangling your self trying not too paus in the middle of a word. Only a problem for the awfuly ridiculous ones thought.

It would also make sense as the rule is to capitalise the first letter in all nouns
