This morning I'm going through exactly the same predicament in reverse. I was trying to answer some mail in French on the EEE.
" Ousse qu'ye s'te sacrament d'e accent aigu" only to notice that " Calisse y"en a meme pas. Pi y'a meme pas d'accent grave pi d'accent circonflexe"
Howe easily can one revert to uncivilized language when using such a simple device. Just like walking in the dark and bumping toes everywhere.
