Jane:
I'm happy for those who can read other languages besides English, but I
must be in a minority, only being fluent in Texan and Arkansan dialects.
I also know a bit of Aussie and British English, but that's about as far
as I can take it.
Texan translation: I don't know 'bout you little missy, but Texan is the
real a ling... aw, I say ling... aw, common shared language.
Arkansan translation: If you ain't an Arkie, you ain't no-buddy!
Aussie translation: Yeh, royt!
British English: There is only one proper language, and that, my dear,
is the Queen's English. Tutt tutt and ta ta!
I would say, until God reintroduces a pure language (Zephaniah 3:9),
everybody feel totally free to write as you are comfortable writing
about bulbs, and those who understand can reply in a way they are most
comfortable replying. ;-)

I expect most of us can read Spanish and/or
French, and many of us can read German; and if you know English and
German you can probably read Dutch, or if you know SPanish and a
little Latin you can read Italian. There are bilingual dictionaries
online if you don't happen to have an 8-foot shelf of them near your
computer (OK, I do, but I've always needed them).
