[Sigia-l] RE: is there a word

[O'Neill, Todd]

Maybe I'm just simple.

Sometimes I think the English language tries to come up with "one" word
to define a something or a concept. Maybe the simple approach is better.

I had an irrigation company as a client a while back. We did translation
of some marketing materials into 5 languages.

The translated word for "golf" in Japanese is "golf". Maybe it's an
Eastern Zen-like thing.

Maybe the English language penchant for "one word" comes from our
historic Anglo-Saxon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxons) roots? The
German translation for "sprinkler" was something like (in German; one
word) "themechanismthatshootswateroutofthenozzleonthegrass".

I vote for "icon group".
