last time I looked this was a keyboard forum. There will be no more Technics keyboards. (The rumours have been discussed for weeks, if you hadn't noticed.)
Folded means going bankrupt, no one has gone bankrupt.
Any more English lessons needed, I'm always glad to help out

In the United States folded means quit.
No English lessons needed.

In the wordbook I use to find out about stuff in the english language
"folded" meand a business who "went down" or did not manage to keep up
anymore. (No more money to continue)

Btw.
Techniocsplayer, I need plenty of lessons, just go ahead and teach me

well, the difference between a Tomayto and a Tomahto then Larry, because if I click fold in my microsoft thesaurus it clearly says "go bankrupt"




glad you liked those volumes, Chuck

Evidently, you guys never played poker in the US.

but you can fold in poker without going bust

My last comment on this :

Fold(ed) can mean many things.

I believe , and according to what Funk & Wagnalls believes...

1. Fold : as in fold a paper, sheets
2. Fold as in Quit,
3. Fold as in Cooking : Fold while mixing
4. Fold: A group of people
5. Fold: A pen for animals
6. Fold: To embrace

It is possible that fold is used as a slang word for "to fail finacially", but I was not referring to the slang word, rather the proper English meaning.

I was referring to #2 in the Dictionary
You were referring to slang

That's it for this English lesson.

Larry Hawk

well then the simple solution if you mean quit is to use quit, and not a word with a clear other meaning in reference to companies going bankrupt

You can start by telling one to begin a sentence with a CAPITAL letter.

O.K.chaps a lot of programmes give the user the option of UK English or US English. There is only one English language & that is English born & bred in England before America was even discovered. Any other language that pretends to be English is just slang.
If anyone really fancies a lesson in English Grammar then do yourself a favour write out a cheque, purchase a copy of the English Oxford Dictionary, then celebrate and treat the family to a night out at the theatre.
