I suspect "M. Furieux" has never before encountered a transcription of
colloquial speech.
Heaven help him if he ever encounters a transcription of spoken French!

On the other hand it must be admitted that George W. is not exactly one
of the great orators of our time.

If you managed to catch Mr. Churchill or Rev. King, Jr., in a colloquial
situation, you'd transcribe results that were very, very similar.
One of Mr. Bush's problems is that he's never mastered Formal English.

Le niveau de l'instruction française dans les écoles américaines est
très mauvais. C'est un problème sérieux.
[/quote:ec6a591e73]
C'est pas beaucoup meilleur dans les ecoles francophones du Quebec. |

I chose the term "angsting" deliberately to highlight the flexibilty
of English. Sure, "angst" as a verb is not yet accepted by most
dictionaries but I suspect it will be found as such within the next
two decades because we accept in English that democracy which goes
by the nmae of common usage will win the day
Je ne peux pas comprendre "nmae." Qu'est-ce que c'est?
[/quote:fc2efca6a4]
Ça ce traduit "nmo".

Sorry, my French is trop mal 
If I understand correctly, it's a political thing:
Just out of curiousity (sp?) : If I (from Denmark) were to talk with
you, would you prefer to be adressed in near fluent English or very
awful French ?
