No, no, you're wrong! It must be the Canadian spelling!
(looks around frantically, then slumps shoulders in resignation...)
Yup, two mistakes on my part for one on Christian's. Meah culpe.
Actually, I was testing my understanding, not snottily pointing out a
spelling error. Sorry that it seemed the other way - I make no claims to
fluency.
And look at how much I learned by being wrong so much! <grin>
So it's "la meme chose", and "le Janvier". Got it. I knew "Marseille" -
that was an honest typo. Now, how did Christian get all of the correct
accents to appear on his words? That was really impressive (though of course
offers several more opportunities for me to spell things wrong).
