- synonyms - Differences between "sledge", "sleigh" and "sled" - English ...sledge - any kind of flat conveyance to be dragged over the ground. These are used for conveyance large loads or injured people when a wheeled vehicle is not available. The references I have seen define 'sledge' almost identically to 'sleigh'. I would never use 'sledge' for Santa's kind of sleigh, nor would I use it for a child's winter toy.
- idioms - "To shoot out of cannon into sparrows" - English Language ...Yeah, as an American, I don't think the idiom is lost translated as "To shoot sparrows with a cannon." We have almost identical idioms that generally involves a small creature (typically an insect, but sometimes birds) with some large weapon or device, so while it may be a new version of the expression to most readers, it won't be lost on them.
