Ice-cream

Regulations in some countries in 1959 & 1963 require ice-cream to be pasteurised by heating to
65°C (150°F) for 30 minutes or
71°C (160°F) for 10 minutes or
80°C (175°F) for 15 seconds or
sterilised at 149°C (300°F) for 2 seconds

Following heat treatment the temperature of the mixture is reduced to 7.1°C (45°F) within 1½ hours and is kept at this temperature until the freezing process begins.
Ice-cream needs this treatment so as to kill harmful bacteria.
Storage temperature for ice-cream must not exceed -2°C (28°F).

4 egg       yolks
100 gram castor or unrefined sugar vanilla (4 oz= 100 grammes, grams)

7) Freeze in an ice-cream machine, gradually adding the cream.

Engelskan är ju konsekvent i detta avseende till skillnad från svenskan beträffande hantering av namn. Söndag likväl som mars och september och Kalle och Sigrid är ju alla namn, och skall också därmed ha stor bokstav. Så är alltid fallet i engelskan men tyvärr icke i svenskan där man använder liten bokstav på såväl dagsnamn, helger som månadsnamn.

Man kan uttala "Sunday" och "sundae" likadant så det blir ju den s.k. kontexten, sammanhanget, som avgör betydelsen. Som svensk kan man knappast påstå att detta skulle vara en oöverstiglig svårighet då vi i svenskan har uttryck som "Får får får?" och "Som man får man utstå vad man förtjänar." samt ett därmed förknippat språkligt dilemma som "Hästen har man!" och "Hur många hästar har man vanligtvis i det området?". Meningar som dessa skapar ofta stor förvirring bland dem som inte har svenska som modersmål. Det är varken unikt eller ovanligt att man i ett språk vid ordanalys får se till både ett ords ytskikt och djupskikt. Många ord har en huvudbetydelse och ett antal bibetydelser. Då vi träffar på detta i engelskan får vi inte se det som ett engelsktspråkligt problem.

Goodbye, Mr. Chips by James Hilton (Paperback )

Is there such a thing as a chipmunk (chip-muck)? And what about a 'chip-shot', where I've heard some people confuse it with 'cheap shot'…? Numerable are those instances when it's been a question of trying to establish certainty as to whether or not somebody means 'who' or 'how'. I mean if someone asks you "How is it?" or "Who is it?" obviously might cause some confusion, especially if you're in a hectic business environment, or even worse, at an emergency ward.

Having said that, we're getting awfully close to all those pronunciation errors basically depending upon difficulties making a correct distinction between "sh-" and "ch-" leading to sheep becoming cheap or vice versa, and 'chip' and 'ship' will further complicate the issue. Stress of syllables not taken into consideration as in 'sheet' and 'shit'.

You've probably heard about the guy who came down to the reception desk of a fancy hotel on the East Coast trying to get a clean sheet to his bed. The desk-clerk misinterpreted the whole story into the more embarrassing idea that the guest in question had simply "shit in his bed"…
