I took French in high school and barely scraped by. My wife took German and went on an exchange program for six weeks after high school and had a terrific time.

Close to 30 years later and I remember a lot of the French but she's forgotten most of the German.

So who's laughing now, huh?

Oh right, you got to have those six weeks in Germany. Merde.

You won cause you can insult the French in their own language. Your wife had to be in vague proximity with a 1990s French person.

Not as well as the French can insult me for being American. And in perfect English too, most likely.

Define perfect English. Cause you could always lord over them the fact that they have a shitty government entity that used to gorce them to use what amounts to a government enforced dialect.

Meanwhile if I wrote phonetically it would be mildly ineligible, just like my dialect.
