I am wondering about the wording of `Extraordinaire Technologie' in
the left navigation box.  I'm wondering if we don't want to say
something like `Technology Extraordinaire' instead.


% webster Extraordinaire ex.traor.di.naire \ik-,str<o.>(r)d-<\e>n-'er, ek-\ adj (1945) [F] :EXTRAORDINARY -- used postpositively <a chef extraordinaire>

It depends if you're english or french :) In french, you'd probably say Technologie extraordinaire, yes, you're right.
But the expresion is a little weird... Where does this come from ?


The expression I mention (Extraordinaire Technologie) is from the
English mod_perl site in development.

http://perl.apache.org/preview/modperl-docs/dst_html/index.html

I agree that it is perhaps proper French, but it's on an English
site.  The English phrase `Technology Extraordinaire' would be proper
in English (and has a bit more flare than `Extraordinary Technology'
- might count towards the 14 pieces of flare).

I think that answers the question, but if it doesn't, let me know.
