… or how to show the whole world how much an analphabete one can be. I was watching TV news on a Finnish channel last time, and they were showing french students in the streets of Paris with banners. And it’s a good thing you guys don’t understand French, for you would have been quite impressed with primary school level mistakes on some of them. And they are supposed to be over 16 years old at least, maybe preparing a diploma or a degree or something. They should be able to write such things without thinking. Well, they sure were not thinking. Don’t they realise that there are other French speaking people around the world (Canadians, Africans, etc.) who are probaly wondering now if those kids shouldn’t just go back to school instead of rioting ?
And it’s no surprise either when the journalist asked some of them why they were there, half of them didn’t know or were not sure.
Back to the spelling mistake issue. I know French language isn’t easy to spell properly (especially for foreigners). And everybody having French as a mother tongue will comfirm “we all make mistakes”. But having one here, one there, is fine. having one in every word is something else. I sometimes (ok, often) play with internet games, where some players give a short description about their alliance, or kingdom, or whatever. And there you realise again that something has to be wrong in schools nowadays. It simply is unbelievable. I’ll try to express an equivalent of a message here :
“we are a very pawerful alianse
we welkome evereebodee.”

PS: I hope I don’t make too much mistakes in English myself …
