Salut viatologues francophones,
La Worldwide Highway Library a ajouté ces photos du Monaco à sa nouvelle
web-interface:
http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com
Photographs > Europe > le Monaco
Nous avons des photos du Boulevard d'Italie et du Carrefour du Portier. Au
carrefour, on peut trouver la belle mer et le casino national. Voici ma
photo préférée, qui donne une vue de la mer, la cité et les Alpes Maritimes:

C'est ça? Mais non. La WHL vous donne plus de faites... On peut boire les
cafés français et manger le gelato italien à Monte Carlo. *Vachement bien*.
Cordialement.

There are no French-speaking viatologists. Oh wait, there's no English-
speaking viatologists either.
I am a "roadgeek" and damned proud of it.

Hey, Carl...
In French, the adjective "bloody" does not mean the same thing as it does in
English. In French it actually means "bloody," as in "murder scene."
That's how you tell someone who actually speakes French from someone who
doesn't; for example, if someone used "ane" for "human backside" when the
French would say "cul," you know you're not dealing with a francophone-vrai.
If you want to learn actual French, call the French consulate nearest your
home and request French lessons. This phrase translates into "Please teach
me French" so say it very carefully and clearly:
"Ta soeur sucé les ours dans la forêt"
They should start your lesson immediately. You're welcome!

Yeah, I even speak English too. That's two languages more that I've mastered
than you.

Michelle, ma belle,
Ils sont mots qui vont très bien ensemble,
Très bien ensemble.
translates to:
Michelle, my beloved,
These are words that are very pleasing together,
Very pleasing together

Thanks! I tell you what, walk up to the next Japanese person you see and
repeat this phrase:
"Watashi baka da"
(wa-TASH-eh BAK-eh da)
...they will instantly agree with you.

It's spelled "countach," idiot, and it means roughly the equivalent of "Holy
Cow!"

You mean French has synonyms and homonyms? Mon dieu! Well, in French, the
word "ensemble" means "together." In English it means "group." In French
it's an adjective, in English a noun. So while it's a cognome, it doesn't
correspond perfectly.
But it's not bad for a start. You get a C+.

I'm guessing while your father was in France, it was as part of the Army?
Congratulations to Pappy Bullis for being too stupid and rude to get laid at
a time when French women were throwing themselves at GIs.

Whatever. I'm not going to lecture you or argue with you on this any more.
You're right, and everyone else is wrong, about everything else.

Wrong again, Bullis.
What JFK should have said was "Ich bin Berliner" instead of "Ich bin
*ein* Berliner." The former is a statement of being a denizen of Berlin;
the latter means that one is saying he is a type of jelly donut commonly
called "Berliner" by Germans.
