I anger French tourists because, aside from sucking at pronunciation, I forget that they call it a "car red" instead of a "red car". Oh, and lets not forget to have six variations or something for a single verb because they have to be adjusted to the noun. And assign genders to EVERYTHING, because its that important.
Bah.
And never use certain forms of the verb in day to day speak (Vous instead of tu)
Though I do love french
