it must be "font" therefore are on an equal footing for instance
Attorney DC Bar Feb 25, 2008:
I like your 'much of a muchness'.
CMJ_Trans (X) Feb 25, 2008:
I suspect it is "font jeu égal" meaning that they are much of a muchness
janisct (asker) Feb 25, 2008:
definitely vont, but it could always be a typo I suppose...
CMJ_Trans (X) Feb 25, 2008:
vont ou font ?
