Work is the W word Herr Olham... and should not be used at the bar/mess. I was just joking with burning beard about mentioning the dreaded word...

Olham, your english is so good that sometimes we forget that we may use a term, you may not have run across that is fairly common here.

 

The "W" word was explained, but in case you haven't run across surveyor, a surveyor measures land and then draws maps of what he has measured. I have drawn lots of maps so I am naturally interested in them.

Yeah, I did look up surveyor (didn't know the word's meaning) and so I slowly got it.

And you're right, my English is far from perfect.

Every now and then, I mix up "were" and "where", and recently I wrote I wanted to "hugg" someone,

when I wanted to say, I wanted to hug him. That can lead to enormous complications.

(Isn't the plural of "to hug" really having two "g"?)

Once someone wrote something, and I asked: "So what?"

Now I know it would be "Na und?" in German - which means something like "as if it mattered!"

What I meant to ask is rather: "So, what did you mean to ask exactly?"

So, please be patient with me, and tell me when I have expressed something wrong.
