	paco2004  #160562  Sun, 20 Nov 05 04:58 AM Use "the French" when you talk about the people in France as a whole.       The French are extremely proud of their cultural heritage.       The French and the German were once permanent enemies. Use "Frenchmen" when you talk about persons from France individually.       Yesterday I met two Frenchmen who didn't speak other than French.       Most Frenchmen are smart dressers and gourmets. paco    paco2004 Joined on Wed, Nov 17 2004 Senior Member (4,095) In Japan today even dogs are learning how to bow-wow in English.

	Clive  #160586  Sun, 20 Nov 05 07:45 AM Hi guys, I haven't heard the term 'Frenchman' for years. It sounds rather quaint. In these gender-conscious times, I'd say that the term sounds like it is intended to exclude the women of France.  Best wishes, Clive    Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member (23,116) El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo

	pieanne  #160623  Sun, 20 Nov 05 11:05 AM You can say "a French man" or " a French woman", depending on their gender. And no, "Frenches" doesn't exist.      pieanne Joined on Thu, Jan 20 2005 South of France ...But I'm Belgian! Veteran Member (7,512) I'm glad to help, but I'm not a native!

	Little Cloud  #160668  Sun, 20 Nov 05 02:38 PM I'm also curious about the existence of the word "frenches" as I can say that "Italians " exists! Am I wrong? Everywhere u can find this funny sentence: Italians do it better! It's , of course, just a joke but I think this sentence well expresses what I mean!    Little Cloud Joined on Fri, Jul 15 2005 Italy Full Member (360) I love Italy..but I would be English!! Eh! Eh!
