The other Italian Anna - professional translator who lived in Dublin, told the story here of how she gained a reputation for great erudition in Ireland. Every time she ran out of vocabulary she used her best guess by taking an Italian word and Englishing it which usually gave a real but Latinate and quite often rare word. -- -- Mike D --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2) |
