As most people don't speak French, its easier to write in English.

According to the Eurobarometer report 2012, 39% of the French population speaks English. That includes people living in the countryside. Which means that in a big city like Paris or Bordeaux where there are a lot of tourists, the percentage of people speaking English is likely to be much higher.

Depends how Eurobarometer (who ?) get their info. The village where i live certainly don't come into the 39% average.

Is a bar-o-meter a quiz done in the local hostellerie, if so once the Pastis intake rises, so does the English output ? Is there a set ratio ?

Did you make toast with it?

Stale French bread makes great french toast.

On the other hand, recent studies have concluded that fewer than 3.9% of Americans speak English. Researchers attempted to explain these results by admitting that their research had an error margin of 3.9% and that they had consumed far too much pizza and Red Bull. 
 
In an unrelated story, researchers concluded that research bias has skewed the results of many modern studies. In the words of lead researcher, Stan "Whoa" Schufenhauser, other research teams are "...like totally lame." In response, the academic community has banned Whoa on Facebook, taken a 6 month safe space sabbatical, and have replaced all classes with nap time, complete with milk and cookies.

What about those who feign ignorance in order to gain an advantage?  Stupidity can be strategic you know.  I see what you done did there.  That's my *plan B*:  stupidity.  I learned that from a drag queen in Florida.  She said *I like what you said but for some reason I want to slap you in the face*.  Crack a joke, smile....

I don't have to feign ignorance. I'm 75% Polish.

That offends me. DOH!

I'm to ignorant to know what that means. DOUGH!
