Kev kont, bqajt u ser tibqa njorant! 

Some say arjuplan because of our exposure to the Italian use of the word they inherited from English who had previously adopted it from French. Although aeroplano is the proper spelling and pronunciation, areoplano is widely used.

I&#039;m a 24/7 political activist not a 9-to-5 civil servant. My breaks relate to petty politics, which is why I visit this blog.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Yes, Kevin, aeroplano became arjuplan in Maltese for the same reason that aeroplane became ajruplan. Now p*ss off and go and play with Sharon or chat to your brother-in-law Andy Ellul (that must be stimulating)..]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
