Re: OT: Slightly OT: French as a second language

That shouldn't confuse them so much... Hebrew does the same thing, after
all :-) .  And i'm pretty sure that Israelis don't pronounce the
word-final {h}'s even when they're marked to be pronounced /h/ and not
silent like most word final {h}'s in Hebrew.

       Typical rant in our home: "Why are there 50 million ways to spell
       (and they pronounce /i/)? If it sounds like (pronounced /i/), it
should be  written "i" and be done with it!"
What about all those word final /h/'s that don't get pronounced?  That
doesn't make any sense at all.
