Sound like a Parisian

It sounds better with an Irish accent!

We all just passed over this very funny post, go back and take a look, if it doesn't make sense check with word reference.
www.wordreference.com/fren/peter In its conjugated 1st person form, it sounds just like our word "pet" LOL

;D I just love seeing others making the same type of silly and often very funny mistakes that I make.

I hope someone is not taking my name in vain. (Or is it taking the p**s) ;D ;D

Slowpoke - Thanks for the clarification. I didn't understand Mimi's post 'till now. As for you, Mossie - If I were you, I'd change my name.

So, Mossie, does that mean that your name is Peter? Just make sure that you never let your pen slip so that it looks like you put an accent on your first "é"

Gordy, I think that everything sounds better with an Irish accent. We stayed in a B&B in west Ireland where the owner sprinkled all of his sentences with fn this and fn that and rather than being offended, we found it charming. Everything is charming when said with an Irish accent and a smile

just as an aside, the french young people I know are very clear on what the F word means to us. It's why they like it. So I am not sure I'd swear in English over there if I could help it.
