OK, OK... I used an online translator for the title. So sue me :-) My French used to be pretty damn good, and it's still not half bad--I'm actually trying to revitalize it.

Yes you must be right, when I took 14 years of french and went to an all french school those bastards must have taught me chinese. Probrably some sick practicle joke. :b I was taught that "pour" = "for" ... "pendant" = "during or while and can be used as for but not in this context" but don't take my word for it..Im not a french major.....Although I probrably could be......I can't get over the fact that I hate the french.

Armenian: I'm Armenian. Ladi-da..look at me...F#$k the Turks! I know how to pronounce words that have "kh" and "gh" in them unlike the highly illiterate non-Armenians. And I find that the foul stench of my garlic and basterma odored body adds a great accent to my day. But to get past the stench I like to make up rhyming words that start with the letter "M" like"oosh, moosh" or "duhkegh, muhkegh." Oh Yeah Armenians invented everything. Yeah. PS. Die Turks Die.

Canadian: Um A Dare. Where's the Beer A? Peace to the world A. How A-Boot that moose over Dare A. <<<
