Anyway, I am glad to hear Pocketbook is testing Froyo since I was weary to get an Android tablet that was not running it.
Do we have the specs on what CPU and chipset the IQ is using btw? |
They certainly did not! Not in France at least !!!! My kids are learning french at their school the normal way, with accents and so on. And a forgotten accent in a "dictée" is very well considered a mistake and means 1 point less in the final result.
They go to a french Lycée in Europe and I can assure you that all the school programs there are exactly following the official programm of the french education ministry "à la lettre".
So the way you are supposed to learn french has not changed, at least not the accents.
The Wiki article you are refering to indicates that in some words, mostly verbs, the accent has in some odd forms been removed, in some words it has been added, but most words with accent remain with accent. Having been through already a complete "renovation" of the german language, and hating the way everything is now wrtitten, I am certainly not looking forward to one of the french.
