GUEST,Amused Englishman opined:
In English a faggot is a type of cheap meatball or a piece of wood used for kindling (the Yanks use only one g for the second meaning I think).
Where did you ever get an idea like that? Never heard of a one-G "fagot", in 77 years in the United States.
Amused Englishman, you are permitted to continue to call your language "Ebglish". Fine by me.
