But when I start to think of it, I really would not want it to be any other way.

I totally agree, I remember one of the Sunday papers running a cartoon called improve your French wife the Legionaires (or something similar) The cartoon was about the French Foreign Legion, and was normally in English, however for a while it was run in French. I tranalated soe of the French and it was meaningless, so much for English French speakers improving all of the tex was colloquial expressions. A very unrearding read as you needed to be fluent to get anything out of it.
