Lição de ingreis do dia
O que significa a palavra "Liberty" em português? Pela famosa estátua da liberdade ("statue of liberty"), acreditei que fosse obviamente liberdade, mas procurando no dicionário (dictionary.com) encontrei a seguinte definição:
lib·er·ty

Portanto: Liberty seria traduzido como "independência" para português, e não liberdade...
Bizarro não?
