They should have a wonder around our local supermarket or try getting a train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachapapa Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Indeed you may be correct.The correct spelling of "hygiene" suggests the assistance of a foreigner.[:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 The close contacts I have had with French people over the years confirm the survey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I like the third paragraph. The idea that you either clean your teeth or have a shower before leaving home in the morning is a bizarre idea - why not both?Pacha, for somebody who spells night n-i-t-e, that's pretty rich.

nomoss Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I think they probably meant "without having brushed their teeth nor showered" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Personally, I think they meant "and" not "or", but there you go. I shouldn't take the wotzit out of other people's standard of English because - like Pacha - I make plenty of mistakes myself, but when it's in a "newspaper" it winds me up.
