I posted a rar file together with the pictures and forgot an
index. Sorry for the rar file, indices coming soon.

English is my native language - in fact, my only language! -
and even though I know that the proper word IS "indices" I have
still always preferred "indexes". There are a lot of words in
the English language, especially those with their roots in the
Latin or French, that have unusual plural forms.

You're very right there.
Even English and American is not the same.
In America you write "color", in English "colour".
An American says "Me too", an Englishman would say "So am I",
ore "So do I". The history of language is very interesting.
My native language is "Fries", not Dutch, and maybe there are
only half a million people speaking "Fries".
But building a sentence in Fries and English is the same and
differs from Dutch.

English: Spot on, American: Right on

misunderstand" - Unknown or George Bernard Shaw

"England and America are two countries divided by a common
language" - George Bernard Shaw
