Abstract :
This is an unexpected \´after all\´. not in my wildest dreams could I have anticipated the response I was to receive after writing my \´Breeding Words for Technology in the Faroe Islands\´ column in issue 11, 2011. If I formerly had reasons to believe that my readers\´ favourite subjects were trains, planes and automobiles, now I could easily add "foreign languages" (or, to be more exact, foreign technology terms) to that list.
