En réponse à John Cowan :
>Nothing in language is truly boring.
True, but everything is relative :))) . Nothing is boring in language
doesn't mean that some things are not *more* boring than others :)) .
>English has the lovely word "defenestrate", meaning "to execute by
>throwing someone out a window", or more recently "to remove Windows from
>a computer and replace it with something useful". :-)
Hehe, French does have "défenestrer" in the first sense, but I never heard
it for the second one ;))) .
>In Spanish it's "ventana", clearly back to the wind again, and in
>Portuguese "janela" is beyond me.
Maybe João could enlighten us on this subject :) .
