    In July, I was on vacation in France, and I came across a board that said "Accès interdit" (Access forbidden) because it was close to a cliff that was collapsing. What was this translated to? To "Speechless access"[^]... :doh:

    The German isn't any better, forbreading access! :laugh: :laugh: Seems to be a popular sign though: https://www.facebook.com/100001709701674/posts/714982661902051[^] Not that even they understood it: "een uitzicht waar je sprakeloos van wordt....." An 'out look' indeed. For the Dutch speakers, Access is more like what, weg? or voorgang perhaps?

                    Yeah, that rings a bell. 'Toegang bezookers' is a sign I used to see a lot. :)

                            I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

                            I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

                              Nope. Accents on upcase letters are accepted and encouraged by both the Académie Française[^] and the Office de la langue Française du Québec[^]. These is an exception for acronyms.

                                      If you access, you may be left speechless. That's what they're saying. :)

                                      They're saying nothing, I suggest how they gone to such a bullshit the wrong orthograph of "Voix"(voice) instead "Voie"(way) gives : "sans voie d'accés" (no way access, dead-end way) that becomes: "sans voix d'accés" (speechless or voiceless access) do you see the idiocy? ("vois"-tu l'imbécilité) "voie, voix, vois" (track, voice, see) three different meaning with exactly the same pronunciation Unfortunately, this confirms the decay of French language by phonetically writing!
