Ah the French - every Englishman's natural enemy!
You have to feel sorry for the poor buggers, though. With only two per cent of the world's web-sites in French, they're all having to learn English in a hurry, which is causing the language police all kinds of conniptions.
No wonder that among the wonderful things they've given the rest of civilisation (letters, kisses, polish...) is the word chauvinism.

(...ducking and running for cover in case any of his French forebears send down/up a thunderbolt!)
