Doesn't seem advisable to make serious legal statements if you're not confident in the language - let an expert speak on your behalf.

That's rich coming from someone who probably speaks one language.

99,9% of people understand what she means, even if it isn't the legally correct word. The other 0,01% are pedantics like yourself.

Furthermore there is no evidence that she used this word, the interview might've been in Dutch or French and translated by the authors.

Was this said under oath or something?
