Since my English is broken, my capabilities regarding to rhetorical
obfuscation in English need some improvement :D. If I should translate
your mail half correct, than it seems to be an issue regarding to my
English.de, but don't trust these words ;).
The German word for "screen" is "Bild""schirm". Lousy translated word
for word it could be "picture umbrella" in English. I like idioms, but
translating those is very hard for me. And sometimes it isn't easy to
find even the simplest correct phrases in English.
Errare humanum est, sed in errore perseverare diabolicum
Cheers!
