Well, I do speak French, and I understood almost everything you wrote here! This is great, Jim, as everything you do. You deserve particular congratulations for using colloquial expressions such as "tout le bataclan" (BTW, the "Bataclan" was a theater in Paris much famous at the end of the 19th century, and still existing - see (in French) http://www.bataclan.fr/index2.html) Now to make sure that everybody in the world does not miss the smallest part of your message, I will take the liberty of re-writing it: >Je viens de comprendre le probl�me: la premi�re fois j'avais �crit >"marche" � la place de "march�" parce que je n'avais pas utilis� les >accents graves et tout le bataclan. J'�tais paresseux. > >En v�rit�, en ce qui concerne le SI, une telle habitude de paresse >conduit certains � �crire "mcg" � la place de "mg". Voil�! Je fais >du th�me! As you see, this is not totally off-topic, and it is so pleasant, especially on the 14th July, the French national day (thanks, Justin, for your greetings. Allons, enfants de la Patrie!) Louis
