Word of the Week: KRACH

This week, a word that fits in with our economically troubled times. The French, the Dutch and the Russians (and possibly some others, too) use the German term Krach to describe an economic collapse or stock market crash. I can see why, too - it's got such a nice onomatopoeic ring to it, much more dramatic than "collapse", wouldn't you agree?
