Actually March in Dutch is Maart according to Google translate.


Yes both words mean March, try it for yourself, translate Mars from Dutch to English, you get March, do it the other way around you get Maart.
"Mars" in Dutch is a march (you know, like soldiers marching), "Maart" is the month March.

The month March in Dutch is Maart.
To march, in Dutch, along with the planet Mars is Mars. Contextual difference
Back OT, does the quake graph someone posted/linked look like a regular quake? No pre-shocks or rumbles, just a huge "bang" that dies down... Hoping an expert can chime in.

Well, I guess it's the word of native Dutch speakers against the word of 'Babylon 9'. Maybe I should ring up the Dutch Language Union to let them know some Israeli computer program has a different opinion about our language

By the way, "marcheren" is the verb derived from the noun "mars".

Hey now, the guy wants to learn. Isn't that what we're here for?

It's not like this minor earthquake is getting any less attention because of it.

No-one is attacking you. Friendly people are informing you that your "guess" (your own word) about a foreign language was incorrect. Now you could go correcting others making the same mistake

The seed bank is about 1300 miles to the north of the epicenter of this minor quake. I'm guessing the seeds survived.

Funny how the topic has become the word for March. Your list here is refering to the wrong word.
At least, for french, the word used for "to march" (or walk) is used (marcher). The word for the month in french is "mars".
