You're right, the question was even about how to say a simple phrase
in *one* language. A question I have since been able to find in the
archives. On my first attempt I didn't notice the full message text is
presented below the list of message headers, and I wasn't planning on
clicking through 110+ messages. However, I should've spent just a
little bit longer searching, my fault.

To say that it was "done to death" however, is a bit of an
overstatement, isn't it? Besides the one that answered my question, I
didn't find that many messages on the subject, really.

cheers,
Henry
