okno wykuszowe
"I tak, aby zwiększyć ilość wpadającego światła, w XIX wieku pojawiły się wiktoriańskie okna wykuszowe. Ustawiano przy nich ławeczki, które były idealnym miejscem, żeby usiąść i podziwiać widoki." (portal informacyjny)
| @Peter. To be honest: your reaction to my entry makes me feel sad. Do you really expect your colleagues, in the present case me, to be so mean as to take advantage of the results of your research by presenting them as a finding of their own ? I saw your suggestion and spontaneously thought of accusation as a suitable alternative without reading your comments. Admittedly, I should have done this, but every now and then it occurs that one fails to act in the proper way. But by no means should this trigger bad feelings and words on the side of the person who feels having been robbed by a colleague. the whole matter, I think, is really not worth being dramatized |
