As a French, I confirm we put a space before colons. (It's a mistake I often see in English presentations made by French and it drives me crazy)

- abrowne 8y agoSince we're on the subject, saying "a French" sounds wrong to me (American native English speaker), even though the same construction is OK for other nationalities. (E.g. "a German" is OK.) You're better off with "a Frenchman"/"a Frenchwoman" or "a French person".
