Edit: Annie, I speak French--at least I used to.
I knew that.
I should have said, "Good thing you don't speak any other language exclusively"
Here's a funny story about felicitations:
I was in Mexico on Christmas Day once, and buying a bottle of water from a lady in a little store. There were all kinds of American jerks in there trying to talk to her in English, so I thought I'd be friendly, you know, and affable. "Merry Christmas" is a good cheerful thing to say on Christmas Day, but for some really strange reason, my brain rendered
Feliz Navidad into
Felicidades.
She laughed, of course, and maybe she thought I was purposely being funny. Maybe to this day she thinks back fondly about that dorky gringa with the weird, random sense of humor.
