| wim commented on 06.10.05 | | my dad worked for an american company and had tp fly a lot all over the world. As he never had english classes in school (he dropped out at 16 or so) he kept up his languages with sf-pockets from airports. It was for me a cheap way of reading, but I read German before I could read Dutch, hence a bit of flavour for linguistic comparing, as my french is not bad at all, as my italian, my dutch. The only problems arise in spanish |

| Smart Set commented on 06.10.05 | | Never mind. Why did you read only English in your youth? |
|
|
| wim commented on 06.10.05 | | I give it a try : "no" |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.10.05 | | is there one using "matras"? |
|
|
| wim commented on 06.10.05 | | de trauma leus, the proverb of trauma |

| Smart Set commented on 06.10.05 | | Is there a mattress-anagram in Dutch, using "armee du salut"? |

| wim commented on 06.10.05 | | I was waiting, but my stick's memory is lousy, not sony |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.10.05 | | wim, you are a cyborg - you have memory sticks. Are they Sony? |
|
|
| wim commented on 06.10.05 | | I am not sure about the first word, the second is "and he cried withoud tears" if my memory sticks |

| Smart Set commented on 06.10.05 | | What do the Greek words mean? |
|
|
| wim commented on 06.10.05 | | It was resting in my mind, in my youth I read only English, and the word is one that says it all, not many words like that, epepaideuka in Greek, has the the same effect, as is thelashassa |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.10.05 | | Good word, "flabbergasted". Where did you get that from, wim? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.10.05 | | In this case, I noticed that the word "matelas" was in there, so, even though it would have been simple to do the rest myself, I used wordsmith.org/anagram/advanced.html to do it, specifying the word "matelas" in the result. I was amazed when only two results came back, and one was "matelas du rue". I use this site for most long anagrams - saves so much time. |
|
|
| wim commented on 06.10.05 | | you're right, but it should be "de la rue", I am flabbergasted never the less |
|
|
| wim commented on 06.10.05 | | does your mind find the anagrams, or do you have help from outside, SS? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.10.05 | | "armee du salut" is an anagram of "matelas du rue" which is (slightly ungrammatical) French for "streetmattress"! |
