YCCMB Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 It's very difficult NOT to make the elision when speaking, I would have thought! I shall just continue with my policy of refusing to befriend people with names starting in a vowel. This should eliminate any problems.[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Yeah, and have some good rillettes du Mans instead. [:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCMB Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I should, out of simple regard for my patrimoine, as Le Mans is twinned with my hometown. And I do love a good rillette... [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should hate it if you not want to be my friend, Betty, should we ever meet in real life BTW, might be back later if I can't do my French homework for class in the morning![:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCMB Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I will always make exceptions, Sweet! But if I find that my own rule does not fit my requirements, I shall rename all those friends encumbered with vowelly names, just to avoid any grammatical faux-pas[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
