In French, is it normal to put an acute accent on a capital letter, as in Édouard, or is Edouard more proper? [[User:Marshall46|Marshall46]] ([[User talk:Marshall46|talk]]) 07:23, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Capital letters are usually written without accent though it's not a fault to put one I believe. [[Special:Contributions/86.73.245.14|86.73.245.14]] ([[User talk:86.73.245.14|talk]]) 23:33, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Translation

"Ah, les cons" not so much "fools" as "stupid bastards" is it not?

Yes, I wondered about that one myself. From my limited French I would say that a literal translation would actually be "the cunts", although "con" is not quite such a strong swearword as "cunt" is in English. PatGallacher (talk) 18:30, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A much closer translation would "dumb asses". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.72.92.4 (talk) 19:19, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mayor of Avignon

"He was also Lord Mayor of Avignon from 1953 until 1958." Is the term Lord Mayor used in France? --Francis Burdett (talk) 22:05, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good Point. France is a Republic and therefore titles of nobility do not attach to public officials anymore than they do in the United States. I've deleted the expression. Tom Cod (talk) 02:44, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
