     @aurochs did you know that some people would prefer French spelling of aurochs to be simplified into auroch. It isn't officially part of the 1990 rectifications de l'orthographe, but like no-one cares to read the official text, many believe it's in there anyway...

     Aurochs repeated this.

     @jansegers I had absolutely no idea. Years ago I thougth the right spelling was "auroch" (actually because of a Asterix comic) but years later I reallised the right spelling was "aurochs". MU!

     @jansegers I just realised I misspelled "realised". I wrote "reallised" instead of realised or realized. This is really hard.

     @jansegers Yeah, there was another attempt before WWII but most of the animals died during the war.

     @jansegers It is more difficult to get written jokes because we can not make voices.

     @jansegers Ok! as @thefaico mentioned in spanish we call them uro, from latin "urus". But, the latin word comes, apparently, from germanic "auer", which is close to dutch oeros!
