I meant 90 degree angles. "Straight angles" comes from my Swedish.
And that's a literal translation of an expression, which in Swedish
implies 90 degree angles.

Not really an expression, you just chose the wrong synonym to translate:

r  t -> rak -> straight

instead of

r  t -> r  tt -> right

So, a "right angle" would have been fine.

And a "brasklapp" (translate that if you can): BQT writes better english 
than most Swedes I know, including myself, so I take any chance of 
correcting him :-)
