   Hi, Denis!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:   
      
    AH>  Occasionally we can omit letters or entire words   
    AH>  in English without changing the meaning.  But "also"   
    AH>  seems to be a contraction of "all so", i.e. the   
    AH>  translation of a word from Old English.  That's as   
    AH>  brief as it gets.  :-Q   
      
    DM>  :-Q - what is from your mooth?   
      
      
             I use ":-Q" to indicate a "tongue-in-cheek" comment... i.e an ironic   
   or facetious remark not to be taken too seriously.  I have also seen ":-P" and   
   other variations used where the author is limited to a standard keyboard.  :-)   
      
      
      
    AH>  It's often said there are no exact synonyms in English...   
    AH>  and while the "rule" may have "exceptions", a pair like   
    AH>  this is all I can come up with.   
      
    DM>  :-( I do not know, Ardith.   
      
      
             Not to worry.  As we say in English... "Rome wasn't built in a day".   
   UK/US pairs are mentioned from time to time, however, in this echo.  :-)   
      
      
      
    AH>  Since you are interested in cooking, however... the   
    AH>  larger version, equipped with three or four legs &   
    AH>  used to drain bulky food items like cooked spaghetti   
    AH>  or fresh lettuce leaves, is known around here as a   
    AH>  "colander".  :-)   
      
    DM>  Android Collaider? ;-)   
      
      
             I reckon you may be onto something, but I don't understand what you   
   mean by "Collaider".  Are you thinking of "collide" [v.] as in "come together   
   violently by force"?   I know the vowel sounds in Russian are a bit different   
   from what I'm used to, which is how I read your spelling of "mouth"....  :-))
