éclair m.
'lightning' - French. It also means "éclair", of course.
This misspelling is one of my biggest pet peeves. "Lightning" has two syllables, and refers to the weather phenomenon; "lightening" has three syllables, and refers to the act of making something lighter. I could almost go along with the popular idea these days of abandoning prescriptivism entirely, if it weren't for the words "lightening" and "nucular". It could just be a case of the language evolving without me, but I'm going to put up a fight anyways, at least for those two words. ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

eh, could you disclose where "ngèlé gbângà" comes from and what it means? Just 'lightning' in a local language somewhere in Congo or what?
