Oh, things like that are big in France. When I lived there, there was even a TV game show along the lines of "Conjugate That Verb" (not its real name), where the host would travel to different cities, and contestants would show their stuff by conjugating impossible verbs for big prizes. AND--for all of you major-league French-verb-conjugating wannabes out there, there's a web site at the University of Marseilles where you can practice your skills. :-) Just go to http://www-resus.univ-mrs.fr/Us/France/grammaire.html -Bruce Gelder (bgelder[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]es.com)
