Today I got an e-mail announcing a "keyword regen". I racked my brains trying to figure out what shutting down our client had to do with rain until I realised they needed to regenerate the keyword index.

Later, I was working on a Japanese book titled Betonamu no gendaishi. Until I looked at the subject headings, it didn't occur to me that I held in my hand a modern history of Vietnam. I thought it had something to do with cement.

Hey, the weather channel talked about a chance of keyword rain today. :: chuckle ::

I wouldn't've ever made the same connection that you did with Betonamu -- like I ever had a reason to use the German word for "cement" ^^;;;;

But it's not just German! It's used all over Europe, from Russia (бетон) to France (béton) and from Finland (betoni) to Turkey (beton). It's even used in Indonesia!
