For example, you might be able to reason along > the lines of (hypothetical example) "I know #20 is correct Spanish, > and #5 looks pretty similiar, so I'll try Portuguese for #5". That is certainly true. I looked at #6 and said to myself, "I never seen the word 'graag' in Dutch, but using Afrikaans is just to obscure". But then I saw #11, and obviously both are there (unless one of them is Frisian) and 'asseblief' is certainly more familiar, so that settled the issue for me. I could still be wrong though. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |
