I open this new thread "Staying Alive is Not Enough -6-"
because I often appreciate the postings of this organization
from their Facebook page: I find them very wise and nice:
I do like them.
- English language and expressions: vocabulary, grammar
- good advice for everyone's daily life
- English culture
- etc

I'm not the author of these pictures.
I'm replicating them here as, to me, we have to read oodles of sentences of lots of sorts, in usual English... they are easy to understand and we should understand.
We have to ask ourselve if we'd have written exactly the same way -with the same words- and if not, why? Is there a difference in the words? What's the difference between the words?

Thanks to " Staying Alive is Not Enough".

You are right Muriel, it's rather weird.

2 (coat) [person, dust, snow, water, layer] recouvrir [ground, surface, person, cake] (with de); the ground was covered with snow, snow covered the ground le sol était recouvert de neige, la neige recouvrait le sol; everything got covered with ou in sand tout a été recouvert de sable; the animal is covered in scales l'animal est couvert d'écailles; to cover one's face with cream s'enduire le visage de crème; to be covered in glory être couvert de gloire; 

Thanks for the neighboring words Muriel.
However they are not interchangeable ;
for the present sentence I like
old-fashioned outdated.

In the US, "old-fashioned" is used as a noun for a cocktail based on whiskey (usually Bourbon).
