Ben, be happy that your English is SO much better than this list's French.
When you are being corrected next time, just say it all in French and let
them translate it. I knew what you meant. Les Am�ricains parlent seulement
anglais et espagnol. Leur Fran�ais est terrible. Ma m�re �tait des
quebecois, ainsi je peux vous comprendre assez bien.
