Extremely well-written article with lots of valuable input but as some of the readers have observed (rather correctly), it would have been greatly helpful if the French was somehow substituted with English (the World's accepted dictum) that would make the author's sincere efforts fully appreciated and assimilated as should be...

I wish I knew French and that would have certainly made it easier to think like the author....If wishes were horses...:)
