ArchivesRe: the cost of education...
in reply to a message by 'Cole
Hmmm, ask the math minor for the cost of those books :(...
On the point - as far as I know Ilze (written Ilse, but pronounced with a "z") is the German version of Elsa which mean star in Greek. I don't know how the name might have gotten to South Africa though

South Africa abounds with Afrikaaners who are decendants of Dutch or German settlers (I'm not sure which, but I believe they were originally Dutch).
Concerning the cost of books, a friend of mine paid @$159.00 (plus tax) for his Anatomy & Physiology textbook and I paid $20.00 (plus tax) for a Japanese calligraphy set that I needed for my language class (I could've paid $35.00 [plus tax] for the language tapes to go along with everything else, but I figured eating was a tad more important than language tapes.). By the way, 5.6% sales tax for everything but food and some medicines here in Milwaukee.

South Africa abounds with Afrikaaners who are decendants of mainly German settlers... but in order for them to all speak one language.. they used the one book available..
This was a Dutch bible.. and now they still speak a simple kind of Dutch that is easy to be understood by Dutch people like me :)
History is a funny thing!
