Thanks Steve. I bookmarked the site.

Thanks Jo Ann for replying.
At this point I have no intention to upload to YouTube. I never made a video before. At present I appreciate video tutorials over written text, so my goal was to visit the channel and see what I can learn. As for the second part of the quote I don't understand the word "scour" fullly, because I got a strange translantion from webtranslaters.

The word "scour" just means search or browse, strange word really but it's not a slang word, so wonder why web translators didn't pick it up, but now you know ha ha

Thanks G'kar for clarifying. The translation in Dutch was "schuren". Something you do with sandpaper on a painted surface. Translating back I saw scour and grate. You see it is completely different in meaning. I am glad you helped me out here.

Scour also refers to the washing of very very dirty surfaces. Like the insides of old pots and pans that have a really dirty dried on/caked on food residue or baked on. The pots might be so bad that you have to use steel wool or a copper scouring pad on them. Walls could also be covered with such a layer of dirt and filth that you might have to scour them. Or maybe the removal of old wall paper might require some as well.

A couple of our international exchange students living with us burnt rice in the bottom of our stainless steel pot so badly that it several tries to get the rice off. They felt so bad about it and we introduced them to the word scour. and the verb to scour.

In the interest of comprehensiveness, and to further add to the bewildering nature of this language, I think it needs to be noted that 'to scour' also can mean 'to suffer from diarrhea'. So there you have it!

(Please note, Scott, that this is not a departure from the legitimate question brought up in the thread! )

Your not off the subject at all Per

haha, this conversation is so off topic..

I'm interested in this language though, where abouts are you from Hans?

Maybe you could enlighten me on a few subjects about the dutch language.. I just know it's close to Germany if i'm correct?

Ha ha I'm having a Dutch beer does that count

I will have to get back to you on that G'kar.. I don't think you fall into the category though.
