Gents,

Not trying to pick a fight here, but I have to feel that this is
Hollywood at its level best, once again changing languages to fit
their particular view of reality.

Having been around the "Grans Prix" in Europe throughout the late
60s and having watched Ford and the GT40s kick Ferarri a$$ at
"Le Mans", I can assure that they are both French words (not that
I have any great love for the Frogs) and are correctly spelled in
this paragraph.

Whatever....

Cheers!!
