neutral  Michael Beijer: heb je ook een NL ref voor deze betekenis? / denk dat ik het wat anders lees. volgens mij ondersteunt je ref gewoon de algemene betekenis (dwz niet "deal breaker/clincher")

  ->  maar stelde niettemin verheugd vast dat een vrij nieuwe speler op de Belgische markt, AFI ESCA, een echte prijsbreker blijkt te zijn. http://www.test-aankoop.be/action/pers informatie/persberich...

neutral  writeaway: imo you are translating too literally. afaik this wrong no matter what the mystery context is. Pagina niet gevonden is all your ref produces in any case

agree  writeaway: I am amazed that even this sort of everyday term actually makes it to the Nl-En dicos. The words silver platter and handed come to mind/that would kill off the profession and make having brains totally unnecessary

  -> in an ideal wold, every single word in the multiverse would be in a dictionary, all clearly defined, with translations into every existing language ;)/I wouldn't worry about our profession. Losse woorden are just that: losse woorden. No real threat IMNSHO
