There were a whole host of writers who wrote in other languages than their own but i don't know for what reason. Voltaire did it to get round the censors in France, Joseph Conrad did it as well - was it Samuel Beckett ?

Yes Samuel Beckett wrote in French

Well, the original meaning of 'cropper' was to fall off a horse - which is still as common now as then so is it horse riding ?
