peer agreement (net): +2conservative Explanation: old-fashioned, stiff, overly formal -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 hrs (2009-11-16 07:04:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or, as the whole text is actually quite "flott" (as opposed to altbacken) "stale" would be a good translation as well |
