I can believe that.  I wonder if this variation in meaning is the cause of the
occasional variation in prices quoted for "Euro" lights.  My headlight assembly
is a pretty large and complex piece of engineering - four adjusters, two 
reflectors, etc.

The old Audi 80 unit had a pretty clean beam, though.  I never thought them bad 
when driving behind them.

We were doin' OK up until the Pilgrim Fathers left, then things started going 
downhill.  A bunch of Krauts turned up (they called themselves "Windsors", but 
no one was fooled) and _that_ didn't help, either.  Modern American is closer 
than modern English to Shakespeare.

We walk on pavements, too.  And knock people up in the mornings.
