Belgian website with English translation

My website,

describing the evolution of my Belgian layout, is now available in English too. I think non-Belgian folks might enjoy my site as well, as it describes a lot of hints on subjects I've been reading in this newsgroup. As for the translation, I think there are still a lot of linguistic mistakes on the pages. Would you be so kind to report them to me?



Thanks, Gerolf

--------------------------------------------- Hello, Gerolf. I went to your site, but my browser wouldn't cooperate, so I couldn't see the pages beyond the first. I'll surely be back tomorrow to look again. Thanks for sharing.

I tried to reply privately, but got a delivery failure ("recipient unknown"), so I'll reply here:

I just glanced at your English biography page. Your English is generally excellent, but I did notice one slightly amusing linguistic mistake ...

You write that you work at a "psycho" nursing home. I'm sure you mean "psychiatric ..." ["Psycho" is slang for "psychotic."]

Good luck with your site and happy RRing.

Thanks for checking it out - it was a funny mistake, I must confess

(some one else had noticed I used a word "messing" instead of "brass" - rather funny too, I think, especially when I wrote about messing tubes and messing rods ... instead of brass tubes, brass rods, ...)

I'm sure there are more things to be found ... Gerolf
