typing malfunctions
I just love this one on EPC site after this week's games.
Racing 92 now lead the Top 14 by a point from ASM Clermont Auvergne after 17 matches and have a two pint advantage, with a game in hand, on their European Rugby Champions Cup quarter-final rivals RC Toulon.
Who said the French couldn't drink??????
Any more????

Re: typing malfunctions
Yes. Your title of typing malfunctions should be Typing malfunctions.

If you were to include spoken malfunctions as well, then Brian Moore during the Scotland-France game yesterday had a good 'un. Question - "What's the French for Handbags?". Answer - "Main sac". (Say it to yourself in French, that helps!):smt003

Re: typing malfunctions
Agree with Donny, I'm Fluent in French and the correct term for handbags
in the plural is sacs a main, and without the second s in the singular.
Perhaps when commenting on things French posters should be made to write it in French?

Re: typing malfunctions
Noddy, Donny just said that 2 posts above you and he's probably more fluent than you as he has an accent above his a, probably grave but I'm not sticking my neck out!

Re: typing malfunctions
For LE18 I'm probably more fluent in French than most of Tigers supporters as not only have I been speaking the Language since I was 10 which is almost 60 years ago but I have qualifications in the French Language & Literature and still correspond with a pen friend in Limoges since both I and she were 13 years old. Plus the fact that in the late 60's I worked for 10 months in Paris. Missing out an accent on a machine
that doesn't cater for either acute or grave accents is meaningless.
Please if you are going to post silly comments check your facts first.

Noddy, all the above were completed on my 'machine' by holding down the 'a' key (in this instance) until accents were available to select.
Hope that works.

Re: typing malfunctions
I love, love, love the way this thread totally misses the humour in Moore's comment, a 'double entendre' if ever I heard one...
