As a Dutch person visiting France often: this is the case, and French people nowadays do their best to speak English, not always with great results, but it’s way better than twenty years ago.

But there must be an attempt at French, at least a bonjour. If you assume English will be spoken by default you’ll have a hard time (and I fully agree)

Conman needs marks

Bec oiseau (bird’s beak) knifes have a curved blade…

You can do number one, but when you reach the last four cuts, you flip the onion cut side down and dice from there.

This prevents wrangling the piece with the nails of your claw grip, as the base gets smaller and more difficult to keep up right.

It also prevents the more elongated cuts that so hurt (arguably, I’ve never had problems) the symmetry.

It might be a matter of preference/taste?

Only rectally

It’s not a guide, it’s a list.

Andorra kind of baffles me. Is it so sparsely populated, out isn’t there a hospital?

But now come up with a dish that doeesn’t take any inspiration from former colonies and I think most of them can be beaten by a simple onion soup

Technically the French call the puff pastries most countries seem to equate to typically French (the croissant f.i.) after Vienna. Those are called Vienoiseries

And pot=pot, so potassium is ‘from the ashpot’ which was how kalium salts were extracted, by adding water to wood ash, then filtering and evaporating the water off.

That and vendetta honor comfort

Who touched sasha?

This lead me to ponder how french musician Claude Debussy would’ve reacted when confronted with this particular vocabulary.

I re-enrolled in Uni when i was 33. I was kinda worrying that I’d be ‘the old guy’ and shunned by the younger students.

Totally not true. I never felt any exclusion. The only one calling me old would be myself, jokingly. If OP would just ask for tips/advice from the younger ones who beat his ass they would certainly help them.

De achttiende eeuw belde zojuist, ze willen hun grapje terug.

I think he had a different idea of what ‘cum laude’ means as well …
