Here's that wonderful bilingual super-powers registration form I mentioned in the course of yesterday's blog - printed in Alpha Flight #120, in 1993, and written by someone who at least knows that such things in Canada are written in English and French, but doesn't speak the latter language at all.
I mean, the difference between "avoir" and "être" is one of the first things you learn when you're trying to speak French, right? And "I have had a sighting" becomes "j'ais riser une". I don't claim to be great at French myself, but I could have corrected this one even at the age of 16 when I first read it...
