The French word for "station wagon" is "break",

Oh bloody hell, I misplaced the damn e.

Why would the English use a French phrase for station wagon? By the way, I never knew that break was French.

Being one of the worldâ€™s lousiest spellers, I would have never picked up on that. The French wife I have had for 33 years, never had took the time to point that little braking detail out to me eitherâ€¦

Thanks for the language lesson.

Bill
