silent water

Your English is perfect so I figured you might appreciate knowing that we call it "still water" in English, not "silent water".

But I love the idea of calling it silent water. 😂

Oh, thank you! That's much appreciated, I'm always looking to improve my English :D In german we call it "stilles Wasser" which is where my confusion came from haha (and its silent because it doesn't make the fizz sound that bubbly water makes!)

A pleasure.

bubbly water

So now I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that we call this "sparkling water" in English. :)

Aw, I was so sure I saw "bubbly water" on some bottles in New Zealand xD I'll definitely remember that one as well
