Bonjour Lauren !!

Kermit, you remind me of when I used to sprinkle my sentences with simple French phrases and my friend Astrid used to say, "You're from bloody Nuuk, who are you trying to impress?" Razz

Lauren, he *claims* to be French but notice he used a French phrase that everyone in the world knows... Razz

OK, OK, my little corner of the world may not be exotic or a magnet for tourists wearing berets Razz but no need to get punitive here. Razz

We have glaciers and you don't...how do you say "na na na na boo boo" in French. Razz

Who's going to go to bed less stupid tonight ? Laughing Before you say anything, I must admit it is the first time I will teach you something Razz
We do have glaciers here ( notice it is a French word glace = ice Razz). There are some in the French Alps. I used to hike on one of them called Le glaciers des Bossons in Chamonix when I was 11. We also have bears, not polar like yours in Greenland but they are real bears Razz
Do you think a beret would be warm enough for the Greenlander winter cold ? Razz
"Na na na boo boo " in French could be " Na na nère " Laughing

I hate to play "Devil's Advocate" here but I believe Kermit's credentials are authentic. I've never been to France, haven't partaken of their cuisine, and have only last year began studying "La Langue Francaise" from a software vendor called Rosetta Stone. But I have spent over a decade studying European History & Geography & do concur that France does indeed have glaciers. As Kermit suggested, they're not the massive oceans of ice found in Greenland or Baffin Bay (north of Labrador), but they're subtantial enough to fill the whiskey glasses of every pub in western Europe for the next four centuries, I assure you. And as unusual as it may seem to us westerners, the French still believe in customs & address people they don't know personally in the "proper" tense... Bonjour (the formal word used for hello, or literally "Good Day"). Salut (the informal word used for hello & used most typically among good friends and family) is usually not used until people are properly introduced or bidden "On peut se tutoyer". So don't beat Kermit up too badly. I'm a bit envious that he's hiked the Swiss Alps & has probably passed through the Loire Valley more times than I've left my home county, but that's neither here nor there. I think he's genuine & does a pretty good job of "Parler en Anglais".

On peut, peut etre, faire l'effort d'ecrire un bon francais sur ce genre de sujet ... n'est ce pas Kermit? Eye-wink
Je ne remet pas en cause ici l'identite nationale et l'orthographe. Comme se force a le prouver tous les jours, notre "cher" President ! lol Il est donc d'usage de parler en language SMS et d'insulter les passants ne voulant point nous serrer la main...
Bon j'arrete mon delire lol, le marquis (notre ami des Etats Unis) a l'air d'etre tres bon dans le genre!
Desole si mon message a heurte des sympathisants du "Casses toi, pauvre con" ! hihihi

Oh les pauvres accents ! Very happy

Puisque c'est pour la bonne cause je te propose 2 solutions :

- La table des caractères

Démarrer/Tous les programmes/Accessoires/outils système/Table des caractères. Je l'ai toujours utilisé pour l'accent circonflexe ! Laughing

- Une autre solution beaucoup plus simple : installer un p'tit correcteur d'orthographe dans son navigateur (a spell checking dictionary ! ) clic droit et hop !
