Why is it that we call "franglais" using a lot of borrowed english words ("Depuis que j'ai WiFi, je passe tout mon temps à lire mes e-mails ou à surfer sur le Web") but you don't have a special word for a heavily borrowed-french-words loaded expression ("My idée fixe is to fill my atelier with recherché bibelots, so any gauche and maladroit flaneur is my bête noire")?

Why did it take me two times to read the above posts to quite understand it?

How is it that the innocent ravenwing gets the joke, but not laurie?

Of course, and it was about your avatar, so how is it you didn't see it?

Isn't it because contrary to laurie who boasts about her dirty mind, ashellinak has as pure a mind as I have?

Wouldn't a cheater on that type of quiz automatically default to evil?

Could it be that a cheater's evilness is not clearly visible from his/her answers on the quiz?


An explanation:

What did she just say?
I wasn't commenting on the dirty joke about Ariel. I was referring to Ravenwings's sentence which begins "Who's doesn't...."

Meaning "Who [is] doesn't...."

She should have written "Whose doesn't...."

And NONE of you caught it!!! :lol:

Is a simple grammer mistake that important?
