+100. Is that allowed on the Internet?

Really, I am an American who took French in high school and remembers enough to say to a waitress "Je parle Francais seulement un peu." I have invariably received gracious responses and offers to help me with the menu if necessary. This has been true not only in Paris, but also in Montpellier which I have been to on three occasions for conferences.
