trouble."

I don't really see any reason to apologize. This just made me think 
about what an accomplishment it is for people to learn english as 
their second language an still be so proficent in it. (I know we've 
discussed this before but-) I truly salute you!

My English is "comme ci, comme ca" and my french is limited to asking 
"Ou est Mona Lisa?" (I still managed to get lost in the Louvre, with 
a map too, and ended up wandering aimlessly through Moslem 
Antiquities- not a good experience...)
