Hi everyone - This has been an interesting thread, but I admit that my foggy brain is not quite able to understand the advantage here...
I have a copy of the "International Lace Dictionary" (Spee, van den Kieboom, Coene) 1998. It is far more comprehensive than the spread sheet, and of course the terms can be searched through 16 languages. I don't quite understand the advantage of the Google spreadsheet, unless it is meant to augment the Lace Dictionary. (But so far, the words are all relatively basic...) I do love the potential for adding and editing, and can see that there are words in many languages which can have different connotations depending on how they're used. The spreadsheet could possibly address these quirks. Should there be a section on conjugations? (always my weakness!) My hat is off to Jo and Achim for all the work they've been willing to do for the rest of us!
