The settings are selected as "English," I write in English, and yet, the calendar shows up in German. On M's computer, too. And off-site. Anyone got any tips? You can figure the calendar OUT if you don't speak or read German, but still... ideas are welcome. Some days it's in English, some days it's in German.

I did not push the broom behind the elephant. Usually, I served as mahout - I drove the (allegorical) elephant. If he was SAG or AFTRA. Rock stars do not scare me.

Stop Being in German, you stupid calendar!

You mean the calendar on the left side of your blog page? I've never seen that display in German.
Some things to check, if you haven't already, would be the Format tab in the Settings page. Or the settings in Google Calendar itself. Maybe the language there is set to German, or the country is set to Germany. Or maybe there's some German word or stray letter with an umlaut on top of it or something that makes it think "Oh this is German, I better be clever and make the whole thing German".
Another thing could be that some piece of software somewhere is confused about where the person viewing it is located. Maybe its gets the idea that the viewer is in Germany. Like Comcast could route a request through switches in Germany and somehow pass it off as originating in Germany. Who knows?
What I always want to say when to
"smart" computers, the classic ted Williams quote: "If you don't think too good, don't think too much".
Tried resetting in Google calendar. Nope. Sometimes the calendar's in English, sometimes not.
I give up. Bigger fish to fry. Bigger fries to fish.
