@BotanyRNG Ah, I see that you may be on a plane by now! I have just sent my French advent botany blog to your email with some comments. Presumably, you won’t see it for a while?
Stay safe.

Multilingual thread on pie charts

[Eric Hittinger @ElephantEating]

Currently reviewing a paper for a French-language journal and I just learned that the French call a "pie chart" a "camembert". Now I want to know what pie charts are called in other languages so we can make a delicious chart of the results.

[Haggard Hawks 🦅📚 Words | Language | Etymology @HaggardHawks]

CHÈVRECHOUTISME is the act of attempting to reconcile or make happy two opposing sides who are, in fact, totally irreconcilable. It derives from a French idiom, ‘ménager la chèvre et le chou’—which literally means ‘to accommodate the goat and the cabbage’.
