French is a joke as a language. It only has 50,000 words.

Then what does that say about English? 

Because about 40% of English is either based-upon
or borrowed directly from French.

That one gets a lot of mileage up in Canada.

Only we spell it as

It says nothing about English.

Just so you know -- English has roughly a million words in it.

I find it fascinating, but wouldn't call myself an encyclopedia. I just happen to own those four books and have them sitting here next to my desk. They were recommended by Dr. Brasseaux (a friend of my mom's), one of the premier Cajun historians in the state. Thought I'd pass along the recommendations.
I am confused now. Are you in Montreal or Louisiana or somewhere I messed?

Indépendamment.

Now, how do you say "You go, girl" in French?

That will be your homework for this weekend.

I appreciate the encouragement, but I already have more than enough homework at the moment.
