    He mispronounced the french word by two !!s.

    That’s not like Caulfield to be so sloppy.

    I’d be tempted to restore those points if he did the drawing!

    As an expostulation it would normally be “m’aidez,” the imperative – but I learned that it’s an abbreviated form of “venez m’aider” (come help me). As for “M@#%@,” when used emphatically it’s pronounced as two syllables, with the accent on “%@.”

    She’s got no sense of humour. Thankfully, Caulfield’s grade can stand some bullying.

    Do they actually need to censor “merde”?

    By the way, that’s what ballet dancers say to each other for good luck before going on stage, as a substitute for “break a leg.”

    Seems like a lot of that happening some days.

    His art work should be worth those two points.

    From what? 100 to 98? I doubt it is going to affect his GPA, anyone who would hold witty and wise statements against a young person’s academic score is not a teacher but only an instructor. Mrs. Olsen strikes me as a wise and experienced teacher.

    This is not Caulfield’s heyday.

    “Merde” in French is used just like “shit!” in English, as an expletive.

    “Suspiciously similar” if you don’t know how to pronounce “merde” or “m’aider,” maybe. Does “payday” sound suspiciously similar to “paired”?

    The full story, apparently, is that, a senior radio officer at Croydon Airpoirt in London back in 1923 was asked to come up with a universal distress phrase that would be understood in both English and French (because of all the traffic between Croydon and Le Bourget). Hence “Mayday” (“m’aider” short for “venez m’aider”). It actually doesn’t sound all that much like merde, IMO.

    My German prof insisted that we not call her “Ms, Schatz” because the way we said “ms” sounded too much like “manure” in her native tongue.

    Sometimes, here in the writing division of the Frazz Factory, we go deep. Sometimes we’re fine in the shallows. But when you can go really shallow in the depths, now, that’s a certain kind of versatility.
