It seems the evening is prime time for liseuses. The liseuse will have time for reading their liseuse when work and chores have been done, and as it gets dark and cools several other liseuses provide warmth, light and a place to sit at.

![]() I'm reluctant to abandon my beloved 'ereader' as the word of choice - people in the UK know what I'm talking about when I say that, I'd have to explain what a liseuse is. ![]() Also, the Wikipedia page says: "been adopted in english as well by members of MobileRead Forums, an online community dedicated to ebooks and ebook readers." Shouldn't that read: "...dedicated to ebooks and liseuses." ?? ![]() Last edited by Sparrow; 09-09-2009 at 08:34 AM. |

My dictionary lists liseuse in IPA as lizøz (eu being read like German ö and z being in the middle of a s and the z of zest).
(on the other hand, here we could have all too many people mauling the eu... and reading it like a closed e *shudders* then again they'd maul the read part of reader anyway...) |

What, lisuese sounds like a real word and ereader sounds made up?
I meant made up like: just punching a few keys on the keyboard kind of made up... That too. In a normal conversation, I always say I'm reading such and such book. Only when they ask if they can borrow the book (or any reference to a physical presence of the book) do I mention I read electronically. |
