Of course being an Ontarian my French sucks* and most Quebecois would consider me a "Squarehead" anglo.
 
*My accent is really good though because of my grandparents and being forced into all french (RC) schools from kindergarten up to about grade 3 (despite me not speaking the language at ALL before hand... which is likely what put me on the path toward general suckage and angst in regards to scholarly pursuits).


My French is terrible, but works for me anyway.  
When the cute French waitress brought my beer, i got mixed up and said "Je t'aime" instead of "Merci."  Service improved greatly after that.

Hope you weren't with a significant other at the time!  LOL!

NOBODY is more significant than whoever is bringing me a beer.  Wife* knows that.
 
 
*Wife was a waitress at the pub across from my office when I met her.  The office was overcrowded, we ran out of boardrooms and had to have meetings at the pub.  She over-served me after a day with many meetings, and I gave her my number.  She has NO RIGHT to complain about my affection for bar staff!

Matt,
 
I have a friend who says "Just because I placed my order doesn't mean I can't still look at the menu".

Could be a recipe for heartburn though...

As long as it's only the HEART that gets the burning sensation.

When that happened to me, I ended up becoming a modular human being.
