It's really weird what English words foreign people know. A German friend of mine just amazed me by using the word "psychosomatic". I know plenty of native English people who wouldn't know what that means.
[Edit]Okay, maybe that example is a bad one - there is the same word (psychosomatisch and also psychosomatik - though I confess I don't know the difference in meaning) in German. But my point still stands![/Edit]

They say you learn something new every day. Well, here's what I learned today...
- Brian
- Oxford, United Kingdom
- I was until recently a graduate student at Oxford, looking at heat transfer to turbine blades in jet engines. Following a brief stint in the fast world of Formula One, I'm back at my old lab looking at... heat transfer to turbine discs in jet engines. It's almost as if the last two years never happened! I drink rather a lot of tea and juggle badly... often while swearing at my computer. And they say men can't multitask.
I'm under no illusions that anyone actually reads my blogs, but frankly I don't care...
