Hello everyone.�Could anyone of you explain this word to me please? A�student�asked me today to translate this word "OVRES"�which he found in an engineer CV. I haven�t heard the word before and I can �t find it in a dictionary.

Can you give us the context? I don �t think it �s a word. It could be a misprint, either of the French "ouvres" or possibly of "overs" (having something to do with going over budget, maybe). These are just guesses on my part, but a context would probably help. Bruce |

I think it �s some horrible misspelling and we �ll never know what the engineer meant by it. Just let the student know that it isn �t a word, and we can �t figure out what it was supposed to be. Bruce

Thanks a lot for your answer. That is what I thought but I wanted to be assured by a native. |
