perceive a curious lack of participation by the French. On typical lists,
I see plenty of Italian, Gene and his friends are German, Anders and his friends
from Sweden, plenty of Brits, Australians, yanks, Brazilians, other South
Americans, Spanish, Portugese, other Europeans, but few French. Why?
Is anyone here living in France or from there?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>There is a reason I ask. Today I saw some teen
internet chatter with its usual phonetic spellings (How R U, etc) and it made me
think of a curious French habit: they keep on spelling after they
finished talking. So when French youth banter on the internet, do they
slaughter the French spellings even worse than the English typing
people?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
