Hello, spaland!
You wrote on 9 Nov 2006 06:40:00 -0800: s Foodapest - 8th International Food, Drink and Food s Processing Industry Trade Fair 21 - 24 November 2006. s http://hungaryeurope.googlepages.com/hungary.htm Not the most euphonious or well chosen of names, IMHO :-) Foodapest sounds like it might be sponsored by the FDA. "Pest" is not much of an attraction in English even if it no longer carries so many overtones of danger. Wasn't the "Black Death" an outbreak of bubonic plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis? James Silverton Potomac, Maryland E-mail, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.comcast.not |

Hello, Giovanni!
You wrote on Thu, 9 Nov 2006 16:50:02 +0100: s Foodapest - 8th International Food, Drink and Food ?? Not the most euphonious or well chosen of names, IMHO :-) ?? Foodapest sounds GD Well, even to me, whose native tongue is italian and not GD english, sounds like food-a-pest :-) unattractive ... GD "peste" is still used in italian, both to indicate a GD disease ("peste suina" is a plague of pigs), or an annoying GD person, typically a child ("piccola peste"). English has pretty similar usage for a nuisance even if insect pests are regarded as more serious and call for eradication. "Pestilence" is more usual for disease .
