One might reasonably suppose that BYD's bus (and soon if not already truck) assembly plant in southern California is being used to test the English-language versions of their manufacturing software for deployment in auto plants.
Probably an Anglo-Saxon word. Which reminds me that I came across this book review yestere'en: The Wordhord: Daily Life in Old English [Click] and decided it would make a good Xmas present. Alas, I cannot order it from the UK because it has not yet been released in the US. I ordered it from Amazon nonetheless, figuring that in the event it would make a fine Imbolc present. Allow me to suggest that your local library might consider getting a copy.
I purchased a moderately snazzy pen some years back, a Pilot Vanishing Point (retractable fountain pen). A glued spot came apart in the tip, rendering it unusable, and I couldn't see how to repair it. I had purchased it from Japan (because it cost less that way), but kept the original box. Sent it to the Pilot-Namiki repair facility in Florida for evaluation, and just today received a message saying that it was repaired and on its way back to me, no charge. That sort of behavior could encourage people to do business with them!
