    As long as Zombo doesn’t learn other languages he’ll be able to cherish that accidental flattery.

    It’s less romantic to be called an hominidé.

    EDIT: Yes, AN. French is cool enough to have to types of h. A mute one and an aspirated one. They both are not pronounced, obviously, but the mute one must be linked as if the words were starting with a vowel.

      Yea, we do that in English too sometimes, like with hour, heir, and homage (which we definitely didn’t steal from the French).
