Agree completely with Aine and rabbitrunning. An enthusiastic Welsh learner was the admin. for a Cardiff-based theatre company in the mid-80s. He put out a leaflet declaring that the company would parade into a local rural town, *playing music and waving flags*. Unfortunately, he used the word which means flags as in flagstones (paving) instead of Flags/banners. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing?
