Are there any native French speakers about please? :)

I’m writing a message to someone in French, and was just wondering if someone might be happy to check whether my French is correct :)

Thanks!

Pudding myself at the CF comments this can't be real

Wow how rude!

If I was oblada I'd withdraw my offer of help and leave you to it

allthegoodnameshadgone · 09/04/2018 19:26

Pissing not pudding Grin

Shizzlestix · 09/04/2018 19:29

You want a second opinion on a native French person’s French? Wtaf?! Too bizarre!

Situp · 09/04/2018 19:30

I would offer to help but I am not rude enough to. Sorry.

This OP has plenty of form for being demanding entitlement asking for further opinions Grin

MimpiDreams · 09/04/2018 19:36

Be nice. The OP doesn't know that Oblada is really a native speaker. They could be related to Delboy and have delusions of Frenchness for all she knows.

Puuuuuréeeeeee.....

MorningsEleven · 09/04/2018 19:37

I'm so disappointed it's not French Massage. Ruined my day 🌧

CoolGirlsNeverGetAngry · 09/04/2018 19:39
Hmm
Urubu · 09/04/2018 19:39

I'm French, PM me

NotUmbongoUnchained · 09/04/2018 19:39

Lots of people get 2 people to do a translation.... it’s not rude to make sure it’s right.

@WellAlwaysHaveParis , I don't think you understand how AIBU works. Your posts all this week have been 'posting for traffic'. It's so annoying!

yawning801 · 09/04/2018 19:50

Zut alors! Zat is cheeky fuckery! I am abhorred!

Calaisienne · 09/04/2018 19:52

Suddenly lost the ability to speak French in the face of your rudeness OP.

ghostyslovesheets · 09/04/2018 19:53

hope she translates it thus!

Why is asking for a second opinion any different from composing an email in English and posting it on here and asking whether it reads ok?

yawning801 · 09/04/2018 19:54

MumW It's just the blatant rudeness of disregarding the first person's opinion directly after replying to them in the affirmative.

Redglitter · 09/04/2018 19:55

Instead of posting for traffic in AIBU for things like this & where to find a bacon sandwich. Why not post in Chat where it's quite busy too - or use Google!!

AsAProfessionalFekko · 09/04/2018 19:56

My gcse French is appalling but I am enthusiastic!
