Always this damned language barrier. I think "hen party" (in the sense of the German term "Kaffeekränzchen") is better. :D

The biggest problem for speakers of a different language is slang or local usage. Having grown up in Quebec I am well aware how this works in both English and French. Allso having lectured abroad you had to be very careful to avoid such terms and phrases.

Body language helps a lot - facial expressions and things like that, but not in the internet. The internet is the perfect place for misunderstandings in a foreign language, despite smilies and emoticons.

Not a new member but a continuing member. I had requested a user name change to the one I use on AK. Why? This is a great forum, knowledge and intelligence are awesome and figured I will stick around and continue to participate. So why go incognito, so as of this evening I am using my real first name for a user name.
And once again thank you all. ex-BeamOn and now Rajoo |
Ah, that's why Bob was always calling you Rajoo. Clears that up.
Pleased to meet you, Rajoo! |
