Hee hee. I hate the sound of French, to my ears, it sounds ugly and
indistinct, everything seems to run together like watercolors left out
in the rain. But, the grammar and history of the language is
fascinating. :-) I just wish it sounded nicer, without all those ugly
nasal vowels and front rounded vowels and with more stops to give some
texture to the sound. :-)
