That's OK. My anger was in no way directed at you, but at anyone telling you the French r was a trill.

>Isidora
Is Isidora Zamora your real name? If so, where do you come from? (come to think of it, I don't remember seeing you before I came back on the list. Did you arrive while I was away?) Christophe Grandsire. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
