How do you tag people on this?
Or the en croissant rule.

You can say "baguette" right? Well, if you don't know any other French word, just keep typing "baguette" all the time, and you will be free of all that bad English inspired trash talking from kiddos from outer space.
Baguette?
What else is there to know?
This is how you guys carry on in France anyways.
[I'm joking, just in case someone gets in a moody]

When you take a closer look at it, English is just French spoken with a terrible accent and a ton of marshmallows in the mouth!
I remember, when I was a kid, seeing British trucks, and thinking at first I could read the yellow sign at the back, stating "long vehicle". Indeed, long is long, and vehicle... then I realized, the treacherous Brits removed the i in order to confuse me: véhicule became vehicle, and when you try to say it in French, you break your jaw for it...
Right there: the conclusion of hundreds of years of Shakespearean study.
I must have found German naturally easier though at the time, as I chose it in high school.

Of course, the English, bored on their desert island, found nothing better than to force some German grammatical structure into their already flawed version of French. Next, they invented perpetual rain, before they regreted it, but it was too late.
Blaming us for rain is a funny one.
Do you know that I can literally walk up to any human being in the country and have a good moan about the weather?
Is it not like that in France?
I've been to France twice and found it confusing af to be honest.
I'd love that.

Of course not, we talk politics and religion all the time, true story.
Was more struck with the Americanization.
Which is probably more overt when being in a completely foreign country.
At last de Maupassant thought of a safe place where he could avoid the tower that he obviously despised so much: underneath the Eiffel tower itself. Every day, he had lunch at the tower’s base restaurant, just because “inside the restaurant was one of the few places where I could sit and not actually see the Tower!”

True that, shame that England and all is located in some foreign country. I wonder how you guys make it to survive over there, which no Eiffel Tower, no nothing.
We get by with the bloody rain and everything somehow 
I'm also quite annoyed that I couldn't get good music as a standard in your music/record shops.
Although obviously my view was a cursory one. But even my local shop is awesome tbh.
We plenty of rain for damn sure, but a lot of cool stuff too.

I’m getting the feeling , that normal language is no longer the predominant lingo used on the forums. It’s now being taken over by the kiddies lingo . Human lingo has always been a problem for me , but this new strain of the lingo as really got me puzzled ! 🙀
Why the hell are you still reading human forums when you're obviously not one? I don't think anyone here is human . You should visit the game archives sometime, you might be surprised. It will make it easier to go through in your hard life working as a forum lurker.
Ok, this Anglo french thing has gone far enough, I demand satisfaction!
Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberries!
Translation to French: ‘Le Brexit? Cette un ide mal! Ce fou, n’est pas!’
And for our American friends, let us join in an old, and bad taste joke:
‘What’s the difference between the United States, and a pot of yoghurt?’
‘If you leave a pot of yoghurt for two hundred years, it grows a culture...’*
I’ll get my coat...😀
*not applicable to all the cool US players here, or my frightening US vodka swilling joint smoking ex girlfriend. Please read the easy assembly instructions, it never needs ironing. The large print giveth, and the small print giveth away... step right up, we have smoke damaged furniture that you can drive away today ....

Proper translation to French:
le brexit est une révolution sensée et éprouvée

I think the problem with kiddos, is that they are kiddos and behave like kiddos, which is so fully incoherent considering the amont of time we spend playing chess instead of educating them.
mdr
Just kidding, I mean I guess in more formal forums it's better to write full words rather than casual language and use correct punctuation and capitalizations. (Just like I did here)
