In Montreal, Canada, where the language police constantly try to outdo the KGB in the days of Josef Stalin, it is not unusual to hear such phrases as "le flat tyre", or "le engine hood".

God help you if you're from New York and you can't read the "Les kids playing on Le Road" sign. Guess it's just "le politics". -TC 7881 1939mgtb 1939mgtb@comcast.net> wrote: As opposed to "Ze piknik"!
