Signs of the times

There's more English spoken in France these days, I really have noticed it. As a language student, I truly applaud anyone for learning a foreign language — especially one so littered with spelling minefields, like anglais — but sometimes, I see signs on the street that make me laugh. I can't help it.


multiple happiness


There is the phenomenon of the extra "s." Okay, yes, clearly happy hour is never singular. But what about…


stationnement


Un parking. Deux parkings. Obvy.


bakery window


In a bakery window, someone forgot a vowels.


déodorant


Isn't this what Americans think French people smell like?

Robin those are funny signs, especially the brwnies. I guess the person was in a rush to put the signage up. I don't know much French to comment about the other ones. Oh, I get the parkings. funny.
