If you pay a 12 euro fare with a 50 euro bill, after they give you change, it is going to take them off the street for an hour while they try to find more change. They are not ripping you off, it is just considered rude and insensitive to expect people to have to give you more than a little change. Different countries have different customs.
All of which is fine and good by me. I've come to accept this. It's just that this would be far less of a problem if Italian ATMs gave you more options regarding the denominations of the bills they give you! (Admittedly, I actually think I may have seen this at one of the ATMs I've visited.) It's also why I am very judicious about where and when I spend my €50 notes.
FWIW, I love the fact that Apple Mail somehow figures out which language I'm using and autocorrects for that language.
It does get a little confused when I mix and match in a single e-mail, though.
Sorry, that was all a bit OT.
