Don't worry, I'll keep telling about the true polysynthetic nature of
French, hidden by an orthography which makes it look synthetic and
analytical :)) .
>Affected? So I could come over there and sound like an

Not "even-more-arrogant-than-usual", just "as-arrogant-as-usual" ;)))) .
The French in general don't have a very high opinion of the Americans
already, that it's not the use of "nous" (unless you begin to use it for
yourself, as the "nous de majesté" :)) ) which is gonna change anything :))
. Note that I am the first to recognise how stereotyped the French vision
of other countries is :)) .
