I was working out today to a French soccer game I DVRed from the weekend. (Because, y'know, what else would one work out to?) One of the bonus clips was an interview with the Colombian goalkeeper who plays in Nice. He gave the interview entirely in French, which I thought was impressive.
So it amused the heck outta me that the French channel subtitled his French. In French. With grammatical corrections.
To quote the woman on the train to Euro Disney a few years back, "Is ver' French."
(Technically she was talking about strikes. Which are also ver' French. But it applies to the language, too.)
I think the French are a bunch of word nerds. Like me.
Except, y'know, different.
