Anne answers, all too quickly for my taste: << MayDay is the call for distress, like "Help Me." >>
Correct! As my algebra teacher used to say, "You get an 'A' for the day."
I thought Canadians and Europeans would be more likely to know the answer
since the distress signal is derived from the homophonic French "M'aidez,"
which of course means "Help Moi!"
