Le Livre d'Argent

as a French myself, i agree

@cmconseils Expect that French has rules, and Oiseaux follows them. Unlike English lack of rules on how stuff are pronounced :p

You can learn how to read most french words using those rules.

@Sobex @cmconseils The way French is said to have rules is to have a rule for each exception. I remember a flowchart on if a past participle needs the plural, going 5 steps deep, and at the end there are boxes with "these verbes not because convoluted reason". Also, the becherelle is a book for a reason....

@plantagolabs @cmconseils At this point I'm curious to see that flowchart and the edge cases I do not remember at all.

But this is talking grammar and conjugation (which other romance language have too, and what was contended was French reading (in which grammar and conjugation play little part).
