what are some words you get mixed up? (other then they're/there/their and you're/your and such)
i get my "american" and english words mixed up a lot. i started thinking about it because of the whole realized topic. i find myself using a lot of english words, even though i grew up in the US. (i'm 100% scottish) my most common ones are color/colour and realized/realised. |

i got a PM from a chick saying my signature should be Je rêve à toi, not de. which one is it? i told her if she could find a website with a good explanation of it, i would change it. but i got the "quote" from a book and i looked it up (just to make sure it was right) and everywhere i looked assured me it was "de". |

I don't know who this girl is, but tell her that she's absolutely wrong in her usage, and she should probably learn her English rules before she corrects someone's French. Oh, and that she's an idiot. There is no possible way it could be "à" unless "dream" was used in a different way as to describe a manner or characteristic. You're right, and it's de. |

Damned right. I get irritated when I see people who come out of high school with four years of foreign language and think they are hot shit. ![]() my school only offers spanish. i do try to teach myself a little french every now and then, though. (don't hate me...? :] ) QUOTE I am curious. What does it mean? I dream of you. :] |

I'm pretty positive, though, the girl who attempted to correct your French wasn't a native French speaker. Or she was in Year 3 and thought she knew it all. |
