Derek Dwarsligger:

Sleepers under railtrack
Without sleepers the train won't run

Some friend said about me (in dutch ..) : "zonder dwarsliggers, rijdt de trein niet..." [1] a dutch expression that roughly translates as : "without sleepers the train will not go anywhere .." , there might be some truth in the fact that I'm a "sleeper" keeping the tracks parallel, keeping train on the tracks .. for it to reach to its final destination. [2]

For those who suffer from eyesore when they encounter zpellingmiztakez in the Wiki, especially in what I have written/ added/ edited, I encourage you to make any necessary corrections ... do not restrain yourself, enjoy
Please accept my apologies, for I suffer form a mild type of dyslexia, mental blindness for typos, and thoughts that flash over fiberoptics through my mind, but my fingers are wired with standard copper twisted pair ...

  1. ^ Dwarsligger : lit. sleeper, timber keeping rails parallel ; syn. athwart-lier fig. headstrong person
  2. ^ I don't deny being kind of headstrong bordering on stubborn, sometimes... however a sleeper also keeps the train on the track, and you need a certain degree of stubbornness to ensure the train stays on the tracks
