Help[Facts] A note to Pavlos...
Just wanted to let you know that I thought it was SUPER cool that you answered every single person's get well wish with a personal thank you. That my friend, is why we all cared so much that you were under the weather, because of the nice guy you are. Hope all is well, and I also hope that you don't eat at that place for a while! ;)

That place lived all to well up to it's name...
One needs not even superb anagramming skills to learn what they are up to or what is behind their name!
I think you should report them to the food authorities
(is that what it is called in english?), since they will either make the place tidy up or close the place.

It's called *the Health Department* in English.
Depending on the type of food poisoning, they can close a place down IMMEDIATELY (e. coli, botulism, hepititis, etc.). There were two steak houses here in Milwaukee that were closed down and a meat packing plant shut down because of e. coli (the steak houses somewhat voluntarily, the plant courtesy of the Health Department inspectors).
Hope that helps with your question about English. :D

Thank you Phyllis
Such specific names for things and institutions can be hard to guess if you do not exactly know them already.

You're very welcome, Selwyn

Even those who are fluent in a language don't always know the proper term for something because of the "dreaded word": DIALECT. Take for instance the country of India.
There are 40 recognized languages and 400 recognized dialects in India, and a person from New Dehli might not be able to understand a Punjabi unless they both use a dialect of English, but even then it might not be the same dialect of English (go figure).
I just finished having the same fooking argument with somebody about making English the official language here. He wants "Standard English" as the official language and I keep asking him "Which Standard English?" *sigh*
We'll discuss this subject some other time if you're interested. :)
