I just got this email from PCNA, anyone who links to, or hosts the COA form should update their information.

Wrong! Actually, the term "concours d'elegance" is more aptly translated as "contest of elegance". While the two words sound similar, the word "concourse" is something else entirely. From Wikipedia:

Etymology

Literally, a "concourse" means a place where people come together. The word derives from English, French, and Latin, "concursus" and "concurrere," meaning "to run together." It is related etymologically to the word "concur."

[edit] Examples

Examples of concourses include:

* Meeting halls
* Universities
* Railway stations
* conference centers
* Hotels
* Airport terminals
* Shopping malls or portions of shopping malls which are often called "shopping concourses"
* Sports arenas and stadiums

[edit] Contemporary usage

More recently, "concourse" is often used to refer to a situation where people come together in online presence, even if they don't come together in real physical life. An example of such an online community is the IEEE Student Concourse, as well as various online shopping concourses.

Cap'n, you are correct. But it's a little unweildy to reply:

Maybe they are referencing Porsche place where people come together, i.e. Meeting halls, Universities, Railway stations, conference centers, Hotels, Airport terminals, Shopping malls (or portions of shopping malls which are often called "shopping concourses), or Sports arenas and stadiums (Concourse) events?

It just seems to lack that "zing". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
