- Theodores 10y agoWhen I was at school it allegedly was 'merde' in France, i.e. s41t. In England our French isn't so good as it usually gets taught too late, in teenage years when different bits of the brain have to be used to learn the language. So I am glad to have that finally corrected, have believed the wrong thing for decades.
