It always amuses me the way Suethors attempt French accents. What's with the random dropping of the letter J? And is her name Jasmyne or Jesmyne? Not that I actually care, but the continuity police might.

[missblackheart7]

She thinks that French people drop the first letter of a name, like Fleur did with 'Arry and 'Agrid. She doesn't get that we just pronounce it with a silent H. According to her logic, it'd be 'Umbledore, 'Raco, 'Edric, 'Ictor, 'Ita 'Keeter, 'Obby, etc.

'Umbledore, 'Raco, 'Edric, 'Ictor, 'Ita 'Keeter, 'Obby, etc.

I have no clue what half of those names are supposed to be...

[missblackheart7]

Dumbledore, Draco, Cedric, Victor (Krum), Rita Skitter (but with the Sue-French 'ee'), Dobby, etc. :)

[mranon_y_mous]

Ita Keeter sounds like the title to a wacky comedy anime...

[missblackheart7]

Now that I think of it, it pretty much does, they'd just probably spell it as Ita Keter or Ita Kiter...

[hakojo]

'Skeeter' is supposed to be spelled with two e's. It's like the shortened form of 'mosquito' - y'know, since she's so annoying you want to swat her :P

[sinfulx]

Ugh. This obvious ignorance of French disgusts me; how much do you want to bet this Suethor has only taken an extremely simple beginner course in French and has automatically assumed she (he?) is an expert?

[catsrae]

I was actually kinda figuring she's never taken French at all... Or wrote this during the first week of class or something.

[sinfulx]

Good point ... I gave the Suethor too much credit. Now I'm thinking it's was an online-translator job.

Speaking of accents, if Jasmyne and her family are living in France, why doesn't Jasmyne have an accent?
