1. Lignes en angle droit.
   Er… how do you say a right angle in English?
   Just that, right?

2. Sounds strange. A right angle. What would a wrong angle be?

   1. Ha! Too funny. I’ve never heard it called anything but a right angle or a 90 degree angle. What do you call it?? Curious now…

      1. In French it is an “angle droit”. which could be translated as a right angle or a straight angle. Spanish? Angulo derecho. It just happened that sometimes I get my languages mixed up and wonder: straight or right? Almost poetic. Same goes with spelling between French and English. Similar words have different spellings. Like littéraire and literary. When in doubt I Google it up. 😉

         1. I love how things go watery in the in-between … The whole of language getting bigger and broader and also more delightfully imperfect with the more we know… I suppose much of life works that way.
