As self-appointed Miss Manners for american english usage, I'll chime in here:
>>is rather hard and the suspension way (?) "Federweg" rather short.
we mostly speak of suspension "travel", I think. It's more abstract than the
German "Federweg", which evolks (sp. ;-) ) a road which may be traveled-- as if
English speakers didn't need a road to get steel to travel -- <humph!> ;-]
