In reply to La Puce ) who wrote this in
om, I, Marvo, say :
The words describing a boat and a
mouton I find like your friend particularly tricky.
ch, th, and sh are all pronounced "s". Unless you're Spanish :-)

A boat? The plural of boat is boats. And they are all female, unlike your
male bateau, and your bateaux.

I think she means 'sheep' as the plural of 'sheep' as compared with
'sheeps' as the plural of 'sheep' = boat with a french accent ;-)
