Comments on: You Want Rants?! Okay, I’ll Give You Rants! http://www.theparistraveler.com/2007/09/you-want-rants-okay-ill-give-you-rants/ Travel information to help you fall in love with Paris Fri, 18 Sep 2009 06:52:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Lynn http://www.theparistraveler.com/2007/09/you-want-rants-okay-ill-give-you-rants/comment-page-1/#comment-352 Lynn Fri, 21 Sep 2007 06:56:13 +0000 http://www.theparistraveler.com/you-want-rants-okay-ill-give-you-rants/#comment-352 Lol! Very good Sherry.... I don't mind French expressions per se, I'm talking about blogs that write sentence like: "I was walking down the <em>rue</em> with a <em>copine</em> when, <em>mon Dieu</em>, a <em>oiseau</em> did you know what on my <em>robe</em>!" My point is it becomes tedious reading an entire post written that way! (And I've seen quite a few!) Why not just say, "I was walking down the street with a friend when, my God, a bird did you know what on my dress!" My point is, either write the whole thing in French or in English, not both! Like I mentioned in "Pet Peeve", if I'm annoyed by posts written that way, how much more so for people who do not know French and have to guess at what's being said?! Lol! Very good Sherry….
