Monsieur: La plume de ma tante est sur la bureau de mon oncle. La plume? =

Frankly, we like to eat frogs sauteed in butter & milk. With syrup. We =
call it French Toads. Or was it Flange Toads?

  You all definetly need something like, for french people, the =
"Acad=E9mie Fran=E7aise", telling the world what is correct in french =
and what is not, so everybody knows exactly what is correct saying and =
spelling, even if nobody cares.

    In Australia no doubt you are correct, but English as used on the =
American continent differs in some details with English in England, =
which I presume is closer to what you have on your continent.=20

    My dictionary lists "humour" and says nothing more about it than =
"chiefly Brit. HUMOR."  To get the ten definitions you have the look up =
the spelling usually used here.  Also, "spelled" would be more common =
than "spelt."  "Grey" is more British than "gray," but here we use them =
interchangeably.  Not right or wrong, just different.=20

    Yes, I know, this has nothing to do with pianos.  Sorry, but you =
started it!  <G>=20

    Yours for greater international understanding,=20
