Yes it is. I know what a charger is now. For a poor 18-year-old kid it wasn't such a key piece of information.

Also called (more rarely) a "place Plate", chargers are a decorative plate that sits on the table under the dinner plate. They have generally fallen out of disuse except in the most formal of occasions.

Do people do other things?:D

Lindy: merely rumor ;)

I have a sewing room too. It's also known as the dining room. Of course, the dining room is really a sitting room and the office is also a guest room and my closet.

Hey, like Alton Brown says, it's not worth having unless it's multi-purpose! :D

Out of disuse? So people are using them again?

Are you double negitive negitive?

;)

I think of the first few notes of Dixie whenever I hear the word "Charger" :D
