I'll use "lightbox" as bionic4ever did in chapter 22 of 'In the dark of the night".

Today, I've got a grammatical question.

I have named the story, by translating word for word from Fench sentence: "Who is the target?"
But while writing, when a character said "I wonder who is the target?", the grammar checker indicated to me that the correct sentence would be "who the target is?"

Which sentence is the correct one for the title of the story?

I would say. "I wonder who the target is?"

For the title I think you have it right, "Who is the target?"

When you bump your head and you want to decrease the pain and prevent swelling by applying ice; how do you call what you apply on your head? An ice pocket?

I think it's called an ice bag. It had a screw off top where you could fill the bag with ice.

Today, from the last paragraph I've translated; I wonder which sentence is the more correct.

If you see blood under head of somebody would you say: "he is bleeding from head" or "his head is bleeding"?

If I saw someone like that, I would say "his head is bleeding". :)

Stretcher or gurney?

Is there a difference between this two medical devices for carring wounded people?

I need to have a character lying down on a sort of light bed with wheels.(I think that you can find some in Rudy's lab for instance). Is it a stretcher?
An other character would lye down on the ground on a device for carrying him with people handing it (it's used by firemen for instance). Is it a gurney?

I believe the one with the wheels is a gurney - something you'd see in a hospital. While the stretcher is the one where people would carry you on it. :)

Hello everybody

I need a vocabulary information.
What is the proper word : a "scrapbook" or a "photograph album"?
And do you read them or watch them?

Thank in advance for your help.

A scrapbook has photos and possibly other things, like an engagement announcement or a dried-and-pressed corsage. If the book just has photos, you could call it a photo album..or you could still use scrapbook.

In either case, you would 'look at it', not watch it.
