DU Triomphe. You guys don't have that many to justify a plural.

I saw a good quip on Bush in another newsgroup-

Seldom doubtful, often wrong.

That sums him up, I'd say.

Yes :-) We say that "Avec des si, on met Paris en bouteille" = Using
"ifs", you'll put Paris in a bottle.

Oh come on! It's arc de triomphe. And "de" is not a plural form. I
posted you a link to a *dictionary* which is more reliable than any of
us here, and yet you claim that I'm the French arrogant?

You can't even admit a grammar mistake!

I don't know whether you're French or not. But I know you don't know as
many as you pretend.
