OK, is there a standard German version of the joke about the great thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from, or can anyone suggest a suitably glib translation?
My quick effort is:
Das Tolle mit Normen ist dass es eine sehr große Auswahl gibt
corrections and improvements welcomed!

The great thing about standards...
Best translation of this joke / saying
Haven't heard a standard translation for this. Another suggestion though:
Das Beste mit Normen ist, dass man von so vielen auswählen kann.

English language
Convention: Always use English language except when the subject of the topic is a discussion about a particular German word. For example, when advertising and underground garage parking space for rent the title should be, "Underground garage parking space for rent" and not "Tiefgarage Stellplatz for rent".
Rationale: TT is an English language website. Although most readers are able to speak German, there are many who don't.

Nicht verstehen
Was the title changed, and did it originally contain German?
Or is the above a mislaid post?
