Anyone else who can't exactly make heads or tails on that french? I mean, I speak french on a daily professional basis, but really... With all due respect, but the ungrammaticality of that phrase is grating.
Edited to include the quote.

Probably why they said "Pardon my French" :-D

Afterwards. But appreciated.

I always say "...if you'll pardon my French" whenever I use a phrase such as coup d'etat or raison d'etre.

Somehow Clinton will manage to get skunked too in a display of bro solidarity.

In my experience, the phrase is more often associated with the use of four-letter Anglo-Saxon.

--- Quote from: cesium133 on 29 Mar 2020, 20:59 ---Hell is other middle schoolers.
Seriously, though, I'm pretty sure nobody likes middle school. I sure as hell didn't.

Ours was pretty bad.
I've seen two suggested rearrangements for how the grades are split up.
1) Add 4th & 5th along with 6th grade to make up middle school while adding 7th to high school.
2) Keep 6th as part of elementary school and make middle school 7th, 8th, and 9th grades, while 10th, 11th, and 12th remain high school.
Not sure which I like the idea of more.

I don't think there's any arrangement that would make it better. They're just at the age where they're old enough to be capable of doing horrible things, but too young to be socialized into behaving like a civilized human being.
For what it's worth, my school was K-6 elementary school, 7-8 junior high (at the high school but in a separate building), and 9-12 high school.
