RIP, Famous person

I just learned today that Eddie Van Halen had a patent

That link should take you to the image in the USPTO's database, and it's worth seeing the illustration of his invention.

Re: RIP, Famous person

I found Frank Bough an intensely irritating presenter.

His style was to rattle through a clipboard load of questions and not listen to the interviewees' answers.

His interlocutors were never heavyweights who deserved a grilling, and an informal, conversational style of interview should have developed but didn't because he never listened to the damned answers.

That said, RIP.

Until this very minute, I didn't know which one was which.

I don't think I missed anything.

Re: RIP, Famous person

When unclear, Google it...
Quelle = damn near anything including what, spoken of before, not close to the speaker, already known to the speaker and listener, a spring or well, source. 

Dommage = shame, pity, damage, harm, injury, damage, mischief.

It's as clear as mud but it covers the ground.

Re: RIP, Famous person

But translate from what, apparently those two words show up in several languages , french, German, Spanish, Russian, with vaguely similar meanings, not to mention the Urban dictionary with a language  that's just as foreign to me.

Re: RIP, Famous person

That's a pretty good trick when the same words appear in multiple languages.

Me too. Though he had a pretty tortured existence, but I read an interview not so long ago which kind of implied he was beginning to feel better ...

Google Translate autodetects "quelle dommage" as French   ~ I'm just trying to help ~

I know, when I asked Google about the two words individually instead of a definition like usual it gave me all the uses in different languages that went down the rabbit hole like an express elevator. LoL
That's why I wondered how they determined it was French. Have to tell  foots to talk amurican.
