    Pastures, is there anything any of us can do for you? Any information we can ferret out for you, or questions we can find answers to?
    No. I don't even know the questions :)

    I didn't mean it as an insult. Far from it in fact.

    It's very unusual for English people to understand the difference between gender and sex IME.


    il braccio/le braccia : arm and arms

    il ginocchio/ le ginocchia : knee and knees

    designed to confuse IMO. If its masculine single it should be masculine plural......

    Amazing!

    When my eldest was little I tried to make his birthday cakes. At about the age of 5 he identified a cake that was meant to be of his favourite teddy as a cat. :mad: Since then he chose a cake at Tesco.

    Mine would look like a football. Fortunately, my darling Mama is available.

    I had amazing birthday cakes as a child - a Hansel & Gretel gingerbread house, a pirate's magic chest, aquazooms - my mother is very talented!
