Message-ID: <2212@crete.cs.glasgow.ac.uk> Date: 16 Jan 89 10:19:47 GMT Reply-To: singleto@cs.glasgow.ac.uk (Jon Singleton) Organization: Comp Sci, Glasgow Univ, Scotland Lines: 98 This is an english/german dictionary of motoring terms(non-serious,this is eunet.jokes remember). The reason german was selected was because when they don't have an existing word they can sometimes assemble a new one from bits they already have.Therefore non-british people who speak english should pronounce the german phonetically. I would like to appologise to any germans offended by this gross misuse of their language,but its all done in the best possible taste. P.S.

I hope you like this latest offering courtesy of 'Ygorra',the Glasgow University Rag Mag. Again, my appologies to any Germans offended by this misappropriation of their language.I can incidentally speak German: Entschuldigen sie bitte,ich bin sehr sehr sorry! - DIRTY HARRY (Its a 'sudden impact' when you finally get the joke.) -- * Janet | singleto@uk.ac.glasgow.cs | J.H.
