disagree Kim Metzger: And there are a lot of bad translations of websites. We don't call them "wall covers." "we" = native English speakers.
4 hrs
  -> "we", majestic plural? Oh yes, lots of bad translations on the web. That's why I often do not use references at all, in which case you never fail to remind you that I need to. YOUR references obviously are always beyond reproach, right?
neutral Cilian O'Tuama: Do they cover the wall or the hole? (Aside: I would say native usage might be of interest to askers.)
