Bikeridr, we have real french people in these forums for translations. Bad translations aren't needed, thankyou.

Google translate told me it was a reading lamp.
And since there's no french speaking people in my vicinity to set my curiousity I'd look it up.
Anyway, some further investigation on the 'net gave me a full explanation. Which I think I'll keep for myself in order not to offend anyone further.

Manichean
I've kept 2 .rtf files on my computers for years, #1 is Family and Friends
#2 is the guys that play pretend WWII Airplane fighter jocks with me.
(www.332nd.org) (www.hitechcreations.com)

Over the years the lines have blurred a bit between the 2. Some of the guys that I fly with every friday night are much closer than my real brothers.

But its just a pair of .rtf files, easy peasy to transfer to my jetbook and take with me every where I go.

No, no, no.

Its proper name is something like Rubelina Quillain. Its common name is liseuse.

There is nothing common about liseuse.
Now, e-reader - that's a common word!
