I also notice they still want Russian as a language. Guess that's why we were taught Russian в школе не ужели??

"Tonguecrafter" is also a tool attached to a four-cutter which moulds the tongue part of tongue and groove flooring timber.

1) it's the air that holds them up there not the sky;
2) "air" is now so deeply embedded in English both as noun and verb and in collocations- airborne is itself a Fr/Eng compound - that it would be difficult to replace. Eg "airing cupboard" , "airs and graces" , aircraft, the programs was aired ,,, etc
3) how about "codebreaker", sounds much more english even if code is fr.
4) A "tonguecrafter" is someone who carves tongues,or puts studs in tongues; it's a messy business often bloody. The term is also used for the people who boil and preserve ox tongues, a tasty delicacy favord by the early Saxons.

Ah so plausible!

Help I need a cryptologist to decode that!

I notice that they are not seeking anyone fluent in Anglish or offering training therein.

So what about "install" which prima facie has latin roots, but thence goes back to the same gemanic roots as "forestall"? Of course "installation" is also an issue.

So what exactly is the origin of "Hounslow" which is on the Picadilly line to Heathrow airport near london? Nothing to do with the hounds slowing down then? It was a coachstop for stagecoaches going west along what used to be the A30....

ferthfrith: "Thourough indeed, you should be proud.... but you seem to take this way too seriously, as if it feeds your sense of importance, your ego or something."

This is a common anglosaxon response to the teutonic work ethic. I find it maddening too sometimes. If you ever live in Germany you would have to see the upside: they make wonderful cars, and everything works; everything is tidy and orderly; but don't make jokes or talk about your private life while doing business; it is separate.
We all have our foibles!
