Sinterklaas is just Dutch for St.Nicholas

I know, you'll reply that every word of any language of the world is also English...
Bollocks!

Have fun.

but there is no French name for "pizza", when there is clearly an English name for St.Nicholas.

Your game trying to demonstrate that every word in the world is English is silly, really. How old are you, arcticmonkey?
