I assure you that our wind comes from either Japan or Canada. Maybe French Canada! I did not know that Auto Detail is also a French term - interesting! We have absorbed many French words as our own, as you probably know. Here is a Wikipedia list: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_French_origin#Historical_context

Thank you for your witty observations, Jean Paul!

Merci Diane pour ce lien trés intéréssant. J'avais remarqué celà lorsque j'ai fais un voyage aux USA. J'avais été surpris du nombre de mots communs (Panneaux publicitaires , enseignes etc) Je ne me sentais pas dépaysé. Pour ce qui est du vent de Klamath, je suppose donc qu'il vient du Québec. Amitié.

I understand what you mean. Just having the same alphabet is comforting, isn't it? I was completely disoriented in Japan! ;-o
