I think the idea is good, Kat, but p'r'aps not for here. One thread with all sorts of phrases would get too long and difficult to sort through; several threads each dealing with a different language would require the searcher to know the language of the phrase sought. As somebody who's always into words and language, though, I've learned a lot from this thread, and wonder if there is some way a foreign phrase database could be added to the site. Max???V
