Re: Craziness of Language

Danny wrote of the fact that the cor anglais and the French horn are
two different instruments. But English and French are more closely
related than one would think.

French letter (Condom) is a caput anglais
To take French leave (Go absent without leave) is fillet a l'anglais
Then we have French Cream they have creme anglais

The 100 years war contnues in language!
