"Confusion"?  Fran, esta falando portugues?  Quer dizer "problem", ne?

I heard recently that "Outdoor" is a brand name.  That would explain why it is heard in Brazil to mean billboard.  It´s like saying ¨Coke¨ instead of ¨soft drink".  I cannot think of the writer´s name, but the author of "Como Nao Aprender Ingles" has some great examples in his books of English words that mean one thing in Brazil and something quite different to a native speaker of English.  I remember my surprise at the number of definitions for "box" in Portuguese.  Some include motorcycle sidecar, shower stall, parking space, etc.

Michaels?  Was that the writer´s name?  I exchanged several letters with him around 2002-2003.  One night in Chapeco, I was mistaken for him when I visited an English class at the local university.  I told him about it, and he said that surely I was a most handsome fellow.  hahaha
