Estas strange, ke aperas «piĉo» fivorte / familiare en PIV 1970, dum mankas la signifo pri tono, ĉar en la Suplemento de la Plena Vortaro (1954) la situacio estas inversa! (En PV (1930) mankas ambaŭ.)

Kredeble ne ekzistas rekta traduko, ĉar en la angla temas pri transpreno de alisignifa vortaro: orpecetoj. «(kokinaĵ-) pecetoj», verŝajne, do.

What's being overlooked in all of this is that living for any length of time in a hotel is horrible.

Alastair, why do you and Rory refer to that man by his childhood nickname? You correctly called out people for doing it with Johnson, who, for his myriad faults, didn't come close to, say, starving civilians as collective punishment.

I find it astounding that FF wrote it as a stop-gap measure in only 35 days, and that the only change he made to what came out the typewriter was to add “The Day of” to the title he'd typed on the day he started his work. “Not a single word has been changed since.” What a phenomenon!

Have the 1990s become “the Olden Days”? They were the 1950s when I was a lad. I'd ask one of my niblings but the thought of confirmation is making me shudder!

“... at the turn of the century ...”

You're absolutely correct, of course, but my eyes bulged reading that, and acknowledging that the meaning of that phrase has shifted from “the very distant past waaay before I was born” to “when I was at university”!

One of the very few of us whose work actually meant something, and who leaves behind a legacy, Gabriel. I'm sorry that you've lost him but glad for you that you had him.

No idea but "walk" and "palm" also have that feature, so it's not isolated to place names or Scotland.
