Sorry Michael but I have two issues with your last post.
!. Using the term Frenchie, rather like me using the term septic for Americans and
2. the french often pronounce a word ending in T with the T silent or very soft. ( as inthe phrase s'il vous plait ) They would not sound it as Americans or Australians do, after all, it's the french language they are speaking .
Cheers.
