Aux environs du 29/02/04 à 19:44 -0500, sous le titre "Re: [NTLK]
Worldwide Newton Conference 2004", Jeff Sheldon prit sa plus belle
plume pour écrire les mots suivants:

I guess many of us want this to happen.

The sessions will probably be in English.
As far as tourism in Paris is concerned, the rule is to not think
that everyone speaks English here as fluently as you do and to be
very smily and nice with Parisians when asking them things. Usually
they would be nice in such a case. Don't laugh at their English
accent either. Unlike speaking Russian in Prague, you won't encounter
many people who will be offended by you speaking English.
Yes, there is a first aid English/French dictionary, the Belkin one
(available as a ROM card only for the moment).
