Spoilt BratsMr Newton sighs, "ever known anyone so spoilt you would love to strangle? I lived with a Paris Hilton-a-like who complained about everything, stomped her feet and whinged till she got her way. There was a happy ending though: she had to drop out of uni due to becoming pregnant after a one night stand..."
Who's the spoiltest person you've met? Has karma come to bite them yet? Or did you in fact end up strangling them? Uncle B3ta (and the serious crimes squad) wants to know.

The pronunciation of vert/edepends on the gender of the noun it's agreeing with. When it's with a masculin noun, say "chapeau" (hat) it's "vert", silent T, sort of like "vair". When it's agreeing with a feminine noun, say "chemise" (shirt), it's "verte", sounding something like "vairt".
Oh, and the Swiss might well talk in some kind of dialect where Ts that are silent in standard French are articulated. Don't quote me on that, but the southerners tend to elongate their Es and the Québecois are fucking inscrutible. Stranger things have happened.
Right, I'm off to my Aspects of the French Language Seminar. I think we're looking at regional variations again today. Occitan languages, probably. Then I've got a lecture on gender in the French language...
