So there is only analogue cable-TV ?
Ziggo in the Netherlands is busy to end analogue TV on cable as well.
But there still a few regions.

I thought it was "People Are Lavender". Not that I recall any purple

In the UK it was common to expand the US system as:

Ah yes! And NTSC was ...

Never The Same Colour

... because of phasing errors, resolved by ...

Phase Alternated Line (PAL)

AKA ...

PAL was invented by Walter Bruch. His name Bruch might be translated to
"broken" in English. So his name was not introduced in the PAL standard.

That's pretty much the case with me and German. I took it for six years
at school but otherwise barely used it. I can sort of follow the gist of
some German texts, but that's about it.

Two things I have always wanted to read in German:

- Werner Rauh's "Beitrag zur kennits der peruanischer Kakteenvegetation"
- anything by Ernst Jünger not translated to Swedish (I try to avoid
  translations to English; I don't know the translation conventions there)

But I learned French in school, not well enough to read Proust
(especially since we have an excellent translation of his work).

Really? That translates to something like

Werner Rauhs "Article about the acknowledgment (or his knowledge?) of
the cactus vegetation".

Sounds like a very dry topic even Germans might have problems to digest,
unless they deal with cactusses (cannot figure out the English plural).

I see it's from 1958. Amazon seems to have it for around 80€ as book or
36€ as E-book.

Werner Rauhs "Article about the acknowledgment (or his knowledge?) of

cacti is the plural. Plurals in English are incredibly a pain, and I'm

Well, you can always say mouses and catuses without fear of being

    Singulars and plurals
    Are so different, bless my soul
    Has it ever occurred to you
    That the plural of half is whole?

    A bunch of tooth is teeth
    A group of foot is feet
    And two canaries make a pair
    They call it a parakeet.

Maybe “Report.”

Cacti, although English is gradually losing special forms, so cactuses
works too. Likewise “dived” instead of “dove”, “pleaded” instead of “pled”,
etc. Datum as the singular of data is pretty much dead. I’m a language
prig, so it drives me crazy.

The one that keeps grinding my gut is "shined" for "shone", as in "The ensemble
shined in their performance".  There are two verbs "to shine", just as there
are two verbs "to hang", one intransitive and one transitive.  They are
differentiated by strong vs. weak conjugation ("irregular" vs. "regular" verbs):

1.  They hanged him for treason.  He hung on the tree until he rotted.
2.  He shined his shoes.  They shone like diamonds.

Which one is being used in the movie _The Shining_?  <g,d&r>

The one that bothers me is when people talk about "an email".
"Email", being derived from "mail", should be a collective noun.

Fully agreed, burns my mental butt every time.  But the lexical tide
rises.  Like the instance in The Jargon File (aka The Hacker's
Dictionary)  in which people cheered when a long-suffering holdout
finally "used 'canonical' in the canonical sense", I eventually caught
myself saying "an email".  Bit my tongue, of course, said six Mea
Culpas and resolved to live a better life but, yew kno, I *did* say
it. 

Pursuing the thought into anecdote-land: The guy who first got me
hooked up with the net and an email address at a prestigious
institution to which I had no formal connection, was in the workplace
habit of shutting down conversations by saying, "Send me email" and
walking off. Thirty years later, he now lives 20 miles away from me.
The virus has brought visits and hanging out at the local
bakery/bookstore/cafe unworkable. But he can't be persuaded to put
finger to keyboard for more than one-liners.  (While this post that
you're now reading evinces my uncoerced willingness to natter
keyboardily at length.)

Oy! Folklore implies long ago in some sense.  Anybody reading this
have detailed recollections of downtown Boston, Mass. in the 50s &
60s, particularly of the area around Winter St. and Music Hall Place?
I've gotten a rabbit across my donkey trying to identify a drinking
establishment there, open in '65, extant but closed circa '90, now
possibly demolished.  I can post helpful details if anybody waves
their [1] hand.

[1] Yes, plural, I know. I've learned to live with it. ;-)

Another thing I hate is this obsessive belief that every noun
can (and should) be verbed, when perfectly good verbs already
exist.  "Keyboarding" is one of the worst.  But I've never
seen it adverbed before.  I'm not too sure what to think
about this, although it probably falls into that discussion
about humour in _The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress_, where jokes
were divided into "funny once" and "funny always" categories.

    Manny: Use it once, you're a wit.
           Use it twice, you're a half-wit.
    Mike:  Geometric progression?
    Manny: Or worse.

I haven't gone that far yet.  Yes, the old practice of using
a male construct as a general case does need some work.  But
substituting a plural for a singlar is too much.

I've heard that some Spanish speakers are working on
gender-neutral forms in their language.  We need that here.
