I was surprised to learn recently that France also has a national spelling

contest.



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
