Mods, can we get our own 'I Loathe Everything (en français)' board?

The Dutch have theirs and there are quite a few francophones on ILX, so it's only fair.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 16 July 2019 13:13 (five years ago) link
would it all be in french!?! (although I could use the practice.)
― Yerac, Tuesday, 16 July 2019 13:14 (five years ago) link
That's what I was thinking, yes, but it was pomenitul's idea so I defer to him.
― All along there is the sound of feedback (Sund4r), Tuesday, 16 July 2019 13:16 (five years ago) link
he only thing I m good at in french is talking about food. And asking where the rubbish bin is.

Moi j’m’en fous
― Ask Heavy Manners (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 16 July 2019 13:22 (five years ago) link
It would be primarily in French, yeah, but anyone should be allowed to chime in English if they want to discuss stuff related to France or francophone culture(s) in general.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 16 July 2019 13:23 (five years ago) link
J'approuve.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 16 July 2019 13:31 (five years ago) link
The ILX Marketplace board I created in 2011 went nowhere, with no posts in the last five years. I'd be happy for it to be renamed Je Déteste Tout and ceremoniously presented to ILX francophones. Waiting to hear from other mods and stet to see if there are any objections.
― Manfred Hemming-Hawing (WmC), Tuesday, 16 July 2019 13:31 (five years ago) link
Je déteste tout, please. Only the 'J' should be uppercase.
There's also a case to be made for 'Je conspue tout'.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 16 July 2019 13:35 (five years ago) link
On verra.
― Ask Heavy Manners (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 16 July 2019 13:40 (five years ago) link
I'll take both of those statements as signs of enthusiastic approval.

Is there a trick to typing accents in Chrome?
― jmm, Tuesday, 16 July 2019 13:48 (five years ago) link
If you have a Mac, just hold the key down.
― All along there is the sound of feedback (Sund4r), Tuesday, 16 July 2019 13:52 (five years ago) link
I don't know if it's Mac-specific or not, but press and hold the letter you want accented, and a small popup menu will give you numbered options. xp
― Manfred Hemming-Hawing (WmC), Tuesday, 16 July 2019 13:52 (five years ago) link
Otherwise, you should be able to switch your keyboard to "Canadian - French". Idk about other Windows shortcuts.

une bonne idée
― rob, Tuesday, 16 July 2019 13:54 (five years ago) link
Ah, thanks. I have a PC, but I found a Chrome extension which does the same thing.
― jmm, Tuesday, 16 July 2019 13:55 (five years ago) link
ctrl+alt+[letter]?
― ogmor, Tuesday, 16 July 2019 13:56 (five years ago) link
j'utilise le clavier « U.S. International - PC » en mac pour faire facilement les accents : on appuie « option - e » pour réaliser les accents aigus par exemple
― L'assie (Euler), Tuesday, 16 July 2019 14:05 (five years ago) link
je crois que le même clavier est disponible, en fait par défaut, dans un pc
― L'assie (Euler), Tuesday, 16 July 2019 14:07 (five years ago) link
Le clavier canadien multilingue standard est le plus équilibré, à mon sens. Il est doté de toutes les touches dont on a besoin pour écrire en français mais n'empiète pas sur la saisie en anglais (c'est une sorte de QWERTY à rallonge, si l'on veut).
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 16 July 2019 14:15 (five years ago) link
les claviers azerty sont nuls
― L'assie (Euler), Tuesday, 16 July 2019 14:18 (five years ago) link
C'est vraiment l'horreur. Et je n'en vois pas non plus l'intérêt d'un point de vue dactylographique, à moins que ce ne soit une manière détournée de protéger l'« exception culturelle » française. À part la Belgique, aucun autre pays francophone n'emploie cette disposition (du moins à ma connaissance).
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 16 July 2019 14:32 (five years ago) link
J'ai essayé quelques claviers, et je peux faire des accents en Word et Outlook (ctrl + ' + e = é), mais ça ne marche pas en Chrome. Je ne sais pas pourquoi. De toute façon, j'ai trouvé un autre moyen.
― jmm, Tuesday, 16 July 2019 14:39 (five years ago) link
omg about the holding down a letter to get the accent. I never knew. I am such a lâzy bítch.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 16 July 2019 18:17 (five years ago) link
If no one objects to a recycled board instead of a new board, I'll go ahead. Je déteste tout, or J'aime tout, or something else?
― Manfred Hemming-Hawing (WmC), Tuesday, 16 July 2019 18:26 (five years ago) link
I'm cool with 'Je déteste tout'. What do the others think?
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 16 July 2019 19:04 (five years ago) link

lol, le seul hic, c'est que ça risquerait de mal vieillir. Ou pas, puisque Fly Rider est éternel.

OK, stet has requested that I do it as a new board rather than rename an unused board, so there go my plans for turning I Love Metal (last post 8 yrs ago) into I Love Ambient. New board momentarily.

Temp board description - "les francophones s'unissent," but I'm sure y'all can do better.

Many thanks, WmC!

This is great news! Because where else am I going to flog my Barenaked Ladies cds other than on the ILX marketplace?
Mais non, this is great. I'll prob be lurking mostly brushing up on my French.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 16 July 2019 20:20 (five years ago) link

lol, when I auto- translate the new thread, ILE in the links to other boards turns to ISLAND, which makes sense, but Jdt Answers turns to Judith Answers.

ça me plaît beaucoup :)
the only thing I m good at in french is talking about food.
to be fair that's the only thing most French people are good at talking about either! BOOM YA HEARD ME

donc
^^^ frequently used French word that I don't really get
― mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 00:52 (five years ago) link
afaik literally it’s “therefore” (plus similar conjunctions) but in usage it’s like how English speakers use “so” as in “so what are we doing tonight?”
― rob, Wednesday, 17 July 2019 00:55 (five years ago) link
I think I usually use it to mean "therefore". In the Ottawa area, I think you can just say "so" for the second meaning you give but it's def a second language for me donc ...

I'm very happy to see this board. I've been self-learning quite a lot the past year so will be doing some heavy lurking over there.
― hot dog go to bathroom (cajunsunday), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 13:35 (five years ago) link
I overuse donc and ouias because I want people to think I am thinking really hard when I just have no clue what to say.
― Yerac, Wednesday, 17 July 2019 14:11 (five years ago) link

L'ironie est peut-être malheureux que le nom de notre babillard est « Je déteste tout » mais celui serait peut-être un bon sujet pour un fil là-bas?
