Susan H -

I let our dog out but she was taking her sweet time so I opened the door wider when the aroma of skunk hit my nose. Noooooo. Fortunately she wasn't skunked but had walked through the pong not minding one little bit. Bath and bedding change, towel, my clothes, all in the wash and windows open. Not on the skunk in the yard side...

This is a message by my friend Susan.
> she was taking her sweet time
It means the dog didn't come back quickly? Probably wandering here and there in the neighborhood.
Other new words?
- note that a dog is feminine
- pong = smell
- bedding = Fr litière

A skunk is a small, black and white North American animal that makes a strong, unpleasant smell as a defence when it is attacked

Does anyone know what the letters at right side mean?
I don't know elsewhere in the world but in Paris, France, it's necessary to declare the list of songs that are to be played beforehand so that rights can be payed to legal claimants (eg SACEM, SCAM, SCPP... for inventors of the music, of the lyrics, etc)
In addition to these rights, such a list may be used by every musician so that they exactly know about the order without having to discuss).
On the right of the titles, we can read C#m C E F B A Am etc. They look like tonalities but I'm surprised as I doubt this is necessary for the musicians...

Does anyone know/understand?

I remember having gone to a restaurant in which there was a band
playing songs at will of every table.

I also remember that in the room, there was also a fake client who was in charge to check everything was well done ie the list of songs was updated immediately so that this list was not rebuilt hours later, from memory, with the risk of mistakes.

Want the outcome?
Things were perfectly done.
(it was in Neuilly-sur-Seine at a few meters from the SACEM Very Happy

This is what I responded to my niece who congratulated me:

I'm not that proud Alison.
It only means I'm able to write (and fix mistakes made by natives); I can speak like Shakespeare but it is more useful to understand and speak true English with its common mistakes.

Thanks Alison.
The quiz was rather designed to trick natives: who/whom, than/then, affect/effect are not mistakes foreigners make.

MurielB Mar 24 Oct - 22:38

congratulations, Gérard. I also had a good mark. I was quite uncertain several times but my Lucky star helped me.

gerardM Mar 24 Oct - 22:53

As I explained to Alison, the test was more difficult for natives; in adition, the French are (too much) focused on grammar.
