Oh Helen, I burst out laughing when I saw your post about Zimmer. It reminded me of one of the great film classics, the scene in the Peter Sellers movie where Clouseau comes into the inn and tells the innkeeper he wants a rühm. The innkeeper, after getting him to repeat this a couple times says, "Zimmer!" Clouseau checks his pocket dictionary and says, "Yes, you idiot, that's what I said : Rühm!!" This is followed by the immortal dialogue which begins, "Does your dog bite?"
