Jag, not "tipping" but "typing" Maybe you should rest a little ? Let's put that behind us But let her tip us if she wants to Jag you can tip me, full American style, 20-30 % ! Anyway, would it be a good idea to start a real debate or conversation here ? I don't mean that what we're doing here isn't a discussion, it just isn't deep and we don't talk about serious subjects. I guess it would be better to begin with something related to english or to foreign langages in general ? I personnally enjoy talking in english about pretty much anything, that's why I'm into that idea. Are you ? | |

Your keyboard seems to be broken "word" word = mot world = monde I don't think you can check the world on google... maybe with google maps in a way ? Don't feel bad, we are constantly learning too at least I am. | |

| I believe she just searched for "world" in google to see if the word was correctly spelled. Unfortunatly she didn't check the definition to double check that it was the right word. At least it's what I make of what she said and typed. | |

| I actually believe she was searching for the english word for "taper au clavier", and she just ended up typing here "world" when she wanted to explain to us she made a spelling mistake. |

Yes that's it, in my head I can trust a sentence if she is "proposed" by google, I hesitated, wondering if "typing" was good or if it was "tipping" so I starded to write "tipping error" and the world was complete so I figure that was good | |

I hope you won't take personnally the fact that we are pointing your mistakes and correcting them : I am not perfect, I make mistakes too and I just want to help you. I insist on that because : - "she" is used for people, and in some cases it is used when you anthropomorphize something (an animal, an object) but it reflects some kind of connexion and relationship between you and said object/animal. - as for your "tipping error", you can check on google if you want to (because I don't know all the details) but americans have another philosophy regarding tipping (wich is giving money to a waiter at a restaurant by the way) and foreigner can have difficulties understanding why it is not really accepted to tip nothing, and how much to give. Thus, if you aren't aware of that and you travel in the US, you can have "tipping errors". I think it is for that reason that google suggested that. | |

| Yes you are right pour the she, I think more in French when I write What do you think of their system for tips, do you prefer the way in France ou the other way? I think that's best to tip what we want, this way if the waiter was bad we can pay less | |

What do you think of their system for tips, do you prefer the way in France ou the other way? I think that's best to tip what we want, this way if the waiter was bad we can pay less Side note : "pour" is a verb that has nothing to do with the French word "pour" "to pour" = verser (un liquide) Generally (but it's not that easy) : for = pour The thing is : waiters aren't paid by the restaurants, or they are nearly paid anything. In France, our tips are rewards, and not necessary for waiters to make decent money. It is not the case there, so it has become normal to pay between 10 and 20% of the original bill, depending on what you think of the waiter's service. But paying nothing is really rare and if the waiter didn't do anything VERY wrong, you are expected to pay a tip. It is not mandatory but it is part of good manners. I don't think their system is that great, being a waiter seems to be much harder of a job there than it is here, and it seems to be even less paid. For the customer though, their system has something that our system hasn't : punishing very bad waiters by leaving no tip. | |

| Yeah, that's exactly the same problem in french... Why bother spelling the words correctly as long as we understand "globally" ?
That's what makes me wanna kill people. And, yeah, I'm a Grammar Nazi.

| I agree with you when it concerns French people talking in French. Considering the fact that English is not our native langage, we can be a little more laxist and understanding, don't you think ? | |

| I'm on a french forum, I think in French and I don't like lose time to read and correct small errors. For Tips, yes they are paid if they do correctly their jobs, is that not normal? In France if a waiter is uncorrect with me, I don't want to pay him, why sould he be rewaded? Off course that's only work if people are honest but like you said it's in the culture that normal to pay tips so unless the waiter is a dick, he will be paid normally... | |
