I �m puzzled, Les...you know my French name!
I googled QECQVVECQVO, but couldn �t find any explanation....knowing your sense of humour I have a feeling that I �m missing something: would you give me a hint?
Oh, I think I might be getting it.......Ce Que Vous Voyez Est Ce Que Vous Obtenez....no, it doesn �t work...

Dear WYSIWYG,
You are CORRECT!
"WYSIWYG" = "What You See Is What You Get"
"QECQVVECQVO" = "Qu�est-ce que vous voyez est ce que vous obtenez"
I think that my French is probably inaccurate! (Or, as the French say: "Horse de Combat").
OK. "CQVVECQVO" = "Ce que vous voyez est ce que vous obtenez!"
"Quel Fromage!"
Les
France - UN point!
Angleterre - PAS DE points! |

When I spent a term in France and I asked what was for the dinner, they would answer, �skeeya � or at least it sounded like that. It turned out to be all sorts of things and then someone explained, �Ce qu �il y a. � |

Cunlife, you may have heard the question, too: keskeeya? (qu �est-ce qu �il y a -pour manger, par exemple)...!
Spending so much time trying to understand spoken English in films or in people �s mouth, it makes me smile to realize that understanding what I say can sometimes be quite tricky too......

Dear Cunliffe and WYSIWYG,
At school, learning French, we read this joke about an English chap who was surprised that there was a dead man in this French town, who was being buried time after time, again and again.
His explanation was that whenever a funeral cortege passed by, and he asked a French person who the body in the coffin was, the resident always repied:
"Johnny Serpa". ("Je ne sais pas".)
