A bloody mess, yes, but so vibrant! Don't get me wrong, I must rail at least 10 times a day at someone or other's usage of the language, my Dad was a teacher and he taught me to lopve the rules of every and any language. And yet...they say mongrels are the strongest animals, perhaps this is also true of languages. Perhaps the French are not doing themselves a favour.
