Schermata blu di errore: Italy might be in lockdown, but the sh!tshow must go on

Re: Language pedant

Hello pedant,

"schemata blu" is what we say in Italy when Windows bluescreens. For SEO purposes, many use "schermata blu di errore", but really "schermata blu" suffices. Everyone knows that a "schemata blu" is "di errore".

We also usually utter a ton of not-so-nice words along with "schermata blu", too - but those aren't safe for publication and aren't restricted to Windows kernel panics. I've been guilty of uttering some really nasty ones when my Linux boxes have had a kernel panic, too.

HTH
