Exactly. Also one of the icons of America, The Statue of Liberty, was a gift from France. We named everything French this and French that for ages. From food items to sex items. Don't let me bring up the celebration of Mardi Gras. And don't REALLY let me bring up the lesser-thought-of fact that the English language was shaped strongly by French words. The wayward basic hybrid of German and Latin called English influenced heavily by one of Latin's pidgin tongues, French. Check every word I said and discover the inherent Frenchness of those words. Clues in the just preceding statement are "check" "discover" "inherent". John Lucas |
Mardi Gras wasn't named after the French. It was started by Cajun French.
