Jacques Chirac, enter Le Pitte, sil vous plais

I actually knew that, just not at 2:30 am on no food, 3 drinks (which I never do), and 3 hours of sleep the previous night. If I’d bothered to try coding it, it would have looked funny to me and I would have realized. Besides, cut me some slack; I had 2 years of French in high school and 1 semester in college, the last of which I completed 14 years ago this May. (Lord, is it really that long ago?)

Sacrete blur! Eva Luna, if you encounter someone who is attempting to insult someone in that someone’s native language, and you then wish to insult the person who was insulting that person in the person’s native language because of the grammar/spelling in the native language that person was insulting the person in …
What was the question?

We must protest zis rush to judgment.
We should allow zee spell checkers to work.
The spell checkers are doing their job.
We must give zem more time.

I have no French spell checker. I suppose there’s humor in that somewhere, but I’m too tired to find it.

Oh, and I believe the three drinks were French wine, now that I think about it.

Go ahead, craft a conspiracy theory! (I’m Jewish, too, if that helps. Maybe it’s a French/Zionist combination consiracy. Oh, and I speak Russian, so I guess you can throw that in there to.)

But the three drinks were in pursuit of a location for May’s ChiDope. So what does this say about the rest of the Dopers? Are they in cahoots?

Oh, and I think you meant to say “Sacré Bleu!”

I would like to share this little tidbit in today’s paper:

Er… so why the war…?

I don’t know about any respectable french newspaper in english. Actually, I don’t know about any french newspaper in english at all. What would be the point and who would buy it?

I think Le Monde publishes an English version.

It’s been way too long since HS French for me to be sure, but wouldn’t it also be “entrez-vous le Pitte”? I really have no idea so I ask for informational purposes only.

Entrez dans le Pit :wink:

It would be “entrez dans le/la…, s’il vous plait.”, since it’s an invitation. It’s the imperative tense.

“Entrez-vous dans le/la…?” would be an actual question, meaning “are you coming into the…?”

J’ACCUSE!
