Hi,
I also noticed this problem, and Florent has well summarized it.
And what about Mercutio asking Romeo "What kind of beer do you prefer?"
Juliette would just see: ("@Mercutio: I prefer them blond.")
No comment... (even if I'm not sure of the color of Juliette's hairs)
Hoping you'll find a solution to this problem.
Cheers,
Edouard
Just imagine that Romeo reply to a friend of his that
