Can still be ambiguous because "list." means October in Croatian but November in Czech. Also, "lip." is July in Polish but June in Croatian and "srp." Is July in Croatian but August in Slovak.

Maybe it's just Croatian that's ruining it for everyone.

I'm guessing every language ruins something for everyone else.

Around this part of the world, almost everyone calls tea by some variation of the word "chai". But not us. In Polish, it's herbata!
