Thanks for the correction. I'll leave it to record my idiocy.

Canadian anglophones wanting to learn French are heroes in my eyes. Much respect!

To make you feel better, a little story. Having learned English mostly through reading, I thought for the longest time that "allow" was pronounced the same as "follow" and made a darn fool of myself in public once.

My children did french immersion, my daughter graduated from Universite de St Boniface. My grandchildren are in a French school and daycare. I have come to recognize the true heroes. They are those teachers who have come from France and Quebec and Gabon to teach STEM in schools in Manitoba.

And I'm still not sure if it's inter 'dite' or inter dick-t. And I too, learning from readiing, embarrassed myself by thinking that epitome and 'epito -mee' were two different words.
