but it also makes it much easier to guess
the meaning of English words I haven't seen before.

does it make it easier than if you had spent the time learning
the english word you are trying to guess?

Sure - because the several hundred Latin words that I plausibly remember
help me to understand many thousands of English words.

What about Pepsi? I drink cola with breakfast nearly every day, but I
prefer Diet Pepsi. I don't like coffee and I am not a big fan of hot tea
so Diet Pepsi is my drink of choice for supplying me with some caffine in
the morning.

and a load of sugar

In Diet Pepsi?

Ah yes, "diet", possibly something even worse, then?

Try to understand the lyrics of Carmina Burana with only English and German to help you...

There is a translation in my boxed "Trionfi" that does the job
perfectly. Translation becomes an issue when I meet somebody who
speaks a different language.

I didn't say "get a program to do the job for you".
That's not fun at all.

Neither did I. Who mentioned a program?

Fun? I'm not looking for fun, I'm looking for communication. You
are into languages, fine. Have fun. I just want to know what it
means and in this case enjoy the music. I certainly don't intend
to study dead languages to listen to Orff.

French which goes beyond a mere influence.
"Most" sophisticated"?

I thought it was mainly those referring to cooked food.

Words that the English got from the French goes way beyond food items.
Even the English word sophisticated is sophistique in French.

In the USA, drink prices mostly seem to follow marginal costs. In Europe
soft drink prices are astronomical. Not sure why that is.

in the London Tube I found soft drinks reasonable...dunno why.

but in Paris we ran into things like 12$ "cuba libres" (rum/coke)...

As to the costs of soda it is linked to where you purchase it. Local
sodas from a supermarket are reasonable.

in Paris I usually buy a 4 pack of 1/2 litre cokes at the local
supermarket and cool them on the ledge (I tend to travel in winter)...
in the UK I'm hooked on the range of fruit drinks and the unusual
"crisps" of various sorts...

I'll never forget when my wife got a bag of peanut crisps in Paris
(train station and she just grabbed "a bag of chips and a coke" before
jumping on the train)... she's not fond of peanuts.

I belive the glass situation is not unique to OJ and does elude also to
Cranberry (Rarely available) and Grapefruit Juice.

My suggestion is visit the Local supermarket a Litre of Tropicana is
around £2.00 (personally im a Welshes drinker)
