LOL. We *do* appreciate people who make an small effort to speak french, even if it turns out real bad. 80% of the people here understand minimal english, but you'll probably be treated better if you give a shot at it in french. Call it arrogance if you want, I lack the objectivity to judge it.... Sounds like you are right to me. Its the same (pretty much) everywhere - folks who don't even attempt so much as a local greeting, no matter how mangled, are usually seen to be aloof or some other negative trait. Better to apologize for a small embarrassment on your own part than to have the people you are visiting start with a negative impression of you. v/r Gordon ====(A+C==== USN SAR Aircrew "Got anything on your radar, SENSO?"
