Hungarian Heat



Having a revision class with an IB group this morning, I was warning them
about the pitfalls of the word "heat" and some of the confusion generated
both but the word itself and by attempts to avoid using it.

Eszter from Hungary, frowning over her Hungarian notes from her second year
of high school, informed us that in Hungary they do not use this word for
"Q" but instead talk about "non-organized work", as opposed to "organized
work", which is of course "W".

This rang a bell!

Mark.
