        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:

        To be fair, yodelling might cause a landslip. And earbleed.

                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?

                Access is 'toegang' in Dutch.

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

                            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.

                            I'd rather be phishing!

                                    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!
