Yes, pianoforte comes from gravicembalo col piano e forte. Basically it means a harpsichord that can play loud and soft...

Coming in uninvited, but methinks this topic needs a new question already.

Excluding humans and disease-carrying insects, what is the most dangerous creature in Africa?

Ummm...Conceited Ape, you already have an open question which you have not indicated if it was answered correctly or not. "Your turn" is based on whether you answered the previously question correctly. Jumping in to ask a question when the thread has been idle for awhile is fine, but when a question is going on and jumping in with another question is kinda of a "no-no."

Oh.

So is Amanda correct or not?

**hillo** · 10-03-2005, 06:03 PM

Hippo is the answer I would have given and that is what I have always heard, so I believe Amanda is correct and should go ahead and take her rightful turn.
