This whole discussion reminds me of the old joke: What do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bilingual. What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual. What do you call someone who speaks on language? An American. You know, there are some things about French which I think we should change English to use. Take this <<short word>> and his adjective following. Is it not that we should put the adjective after his noun, like this <<word short>>? Then the people french would be some people happier, when they spoke some english! Not is that? It would seem to be a situation win-win, not is that?
