As I was reading my computer alarm went off, telling me to take my evening pills. The alarm is Jewel's "Cold Song". As she was singing I read the next example (p. 14): Es war einmal ein Mddchen aus Alaska, das war Sdngerin in einem Club in San Diego. Vor drei Jahren, mit 19, nahm es seine erste CD auf (Kurier). There was once a girl from Alaska, who was a singer in a club in San Diego. Three years ago, at the age of 19, she recorded her first CD. It has to be Jewel (even if the age is not quite right)! Take care, Barry Howarth PS The point of the example is that "Mddchen" (girl) is neuter gender in German. ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V15 #59 ***************************
