-> nitpicking: don't think 'franca' stands for french, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingua_franca (I'm not
100% sure whether
you were implying franca stands for french or simply that franch was
lingua franca once)
Actually, I did mean both, as I knew the franca part had something to do
with the Franks which had to do with Gaul which includes much of modern-day
France. I actually thought that's where the term came from.
Merci beaucoup - I stand corrected.
(Self-esteem about bottomed-out for the day.) :)
