Subject: RE: BS: words that are hard to spell
Another word that's hard to spell: hors dourvres, or however you spell that.

It occurs to me that we use this word perfectly comfortably in speech, and we don't think "Oh, a foreign word!" Yet when it comes to writing it, it becomes alien.

Do French people have trouble spelling it?
