On a nerdy note (or two), there's a naming split between French/English/Gaeilge and German/osv that can be be ogled at in Wikipedia's language menus And Swedish calls a trombone, erm, dragbasun. Finnish calls a trombone... pasuuna. And so it goes sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fagott#...

In which "decal" and "cockamamie" are the same word, both from French "décalcomanie"! "calque" ("to copy, to trace, to calque") is an extremely close relatively. Variously more distantly (all from Latin "calx": "heel"): "recalcitrant", "caltrop", "calzone", "Chaucer"

Fidaa’s Kids Need School Supplies!
Fidaa is sending four children to school all on her own. Each needs — at minimum — pens and pencils, notebooks, and uniforms, including shoes.

All these items are very expensive due to artifical scarcity. She estimates she needs $400 U.S. for supplies for all four kids.

School has already started and this need is pressing! Please help Fidaa’s kids be school-ready today!
