Hi GrampsQ,
Please be sympathetic with me! I am a lurker just because I have nothing to
contribute, though I have always enjoyed reading the postings. As a matter
of fact, I occasionally have some questions I would like to ask list members
but am afraid they are too trivial, being the kind of questions asked by
foreign students. Anyway, to get out of the "lurking status", here I go:
1/ How come William is shortened to Bill? I see little, if at all,
connection between the two names.
2/ What does "triple C" in "We have a triple C in size 11" mean?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
With best regards,
Linh
PS: now I am no longer a lurker, would you please mark my name? <grin>
