I do not believe that you "messed up " your French on purpose.
It is a typical male reaction to the revelation of his ignorance.

No, that's nothing like I would have done...

Hey, watch it- she might report you!

In the Corrie group (rec.arts.tv.uk.coronation-st) a while back, she
wrote:

"The clique is at it again. OK. I surrender. I shall unsubscribe.
But I shall report you."

IIRC, that particular flame started because Marie had incorrectly
followed up to a post, putting her terse comment within the quotation
marks of the poster she was following up to. There _is_ a history there
though.

My reply was for the person who thought that my princess friend knows
that the university is valuable acedemically. It is invaluable for
independent study, research and meeting people but not for the typical
lecture method.

Robert - the word is 'acAdemically' - not that I do spelling flames, I'm
just trying to help you understand what might have been (to you) obscure
comments on one of your most recent posts. To all others, just a thank you
from a lurker in this thread - it's been a wonderful source of amusement for
the past few days, and I have a newfound respect for some of you, and a
newfound disdain for others of you! I'll leave you to work out which is
which!

The vast majority of princesses remains so for their entire life.
