Mwhahaa this just reminded me of a funny story of when I was in Paris. This girl in our group said she spoke "impeccable" French. She was annoying. Anyway here I am getting by just fine not knowing any french at all. One night we go to dinner and she asks the waitress in French where the bathroom was. The waitress gave her the weirdest look and in English said "Uhh, we don't have one of those here." Then like ten minutes later she comes back and says, "OH! You were looking for the bathroom!"

I guess she said it in some really dated way or something. We were all cracking up (we didn't like her).

A lot of people in America say the french are rude, but I thought the french were the nicest people of all the countries I have visited. My theory was that if you try to speak french, no one will like you. What do you think Zelda? I mean, the only rudeness I saw was your generic city dweller stuff.
