Académie Française: <<Ahem -- pardon et moi?>>

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

You mean <<pardonnez moi?>>

"pardon et moi" means "pardon and me". "pardonnez moi" means "pardon me" (in a polite / respectful tense).

LOL you got me -- I flunked French . (Please don't tell le Académie!) 😄
