I'd done grades one and two in Innsbruck, after fleeing from the Ukraine, was now in late elementary in Buenos Aires. The word that surprised me in the German quasi science coffee table book was "Raketenantriebenflugzeug" , literally "rocket propelled flying thing". No problem, I knew all the parts. In English it's the opposite. My wife's convertible is sometimes referred to as a "vert". A certain Chrysler muscle car was a "cuda". And, on the odd IT help forum I see "puter".
    Intentional, and I mean to post drawing referenced.

    The goofy text is a different impasse of ready understanding. But, a yummy lol: I had intermittent space-bar problem too. Air duster repair job, versus nice pizza crust and crushed peppers.
