Definition Material or Materiel? Definition

#11
Hello, Paul:

Some time ago, when working on a NATO contract in the UK (Frome, Somerset to be precise) I had the same issue. Materiel is, in my experience, a word used almost exclusively by the military and their suppliers and not much outside of that. as Umang points out, its meaning is far more than material. So you really can't just replace the word ('el) with ('al') and maintain the correct context.

Gotta love the English language - so many ways to say the same thing (or not). It still gets me into trouble here in the USA, and I think I've adapted pretty well...........;)

Yep the older you are the harder it gets.... i can tell you from current experience.

I'm now living in Denmark and learning the language is tough even with lessons, so i've formed a new language called "DanGlish" some times the locals understand other times they roll around and have a good laugh :lmao:

But who care at least they are smiling......

That reminds me of Miles Kington's 'Let's Parler Franglais' series of books. He passed away recently - a big shame - but his excellent books live on. For those of you who have never read his works, Miles wrote about mundane subjects written using common English expressions and substituted French words insead:-

During my teenage years, each Saturday, I would get on my bicycle and pedal comme une bat out of hell to the local library. I was going to jetez un coup d'oeil sur Mr. Kington's latest écritures dans 'Punch' magazine! Punch was un magazine hebdomadaire tres funny.
