``Why, how call you those grunting brutes running about on their four legs?'' demanded Wamba.

``And swine is good Saxon,'' said the Jester;
``but how call you the sow when she is flayed, and drawn, and quartered, and hung up by the heels, like a traitor?''

" When I hear Sarkozy I don't perceive any chicness. "
Sarkozy speaks Jewish French, immigrant French, hyphenated French.
His pronunciation and the grammatical mistakes he does are appalling. A real shame.

I don't like French because this language is declining. It's better to learn English instead.
French is an honest language as I like to label it. You have to work your way up in order to gain prestige. The French judges always are tough, but fair.
