I've told you about this Dutch expression before Josh:

A good reader only needs half a word.

I still don't know what that means. Does a good cliche only need half a meaning?

BTW, a google search for "Dutch expressions" yielded about 1500 hits. A search for "Josh Donn" and another for "Joshua Donn" combined for about 800. And a search for "a good reader only needs half a word" yielded 0. I leave it to you to interpret these results.

Surprised that such a direct translation of a Dutch cliche could give zero hits. "I always get my sin" yields 15200. "I hold from you" 366.

Then again, "I go there from out" gives zero hits as well.
The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket
