more about rolig:
Living in a non-English-speaking country, or rather a country that knows how to speak English only for practical purposes (for tourism, trade, international communication) and as one whose job is to produce well-written English texts, I find that sometimes I forget how wonderful and apt certain words can be; I find that some words I even forget about until I encounter them in someone else's writing and think, now there's a word to remember. So that is primarily what this list (these lists) are for: to remember words that don't immediately spring to mind.

Hello rolig,
Thank you for sharing the word stridulation but even moreso thank you for the wonderful citation about John Collier and Fancies and Goodnights. I plan to try to get a copy of it today.

Rolig: Have you seen this site?

fractured translation of Slovak idioms

Some of the "translations" are pretty funny. My favorites were:

It's valid to me like legs to a snake.
In flight, when it's precise warmthness, everybody is browsing banks.

I cannot even imagine what that last sentence is supposed to me.
