Unfortunately my comment turned out to have unfortunate connotations with the word I used! I changed it though to better convey my meaning. Sometimes I write exactly what I mean but later realise that what people read can be something else entirely. Language is a fascination of meaning. I find the way it has changed over time interesting and especially translation - when faced with translation I think the full weight of culture/experience or even personality is evident. I like the story of a russian translator welcoming a party to Russia with the words 'This is Russia, and you are welcome to it'.Philipahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440234602399886097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-68422413247690246422008-07-31T09:02:00.000+01:002008-07-31T09:02:00.000+01:00Phil - sadly no that is not my cat.
