Le mot du jour : “Quelque chose qui cloche”
When something is not working well, you say in French : “Hmm, il y a quelque chose qui cloche”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has nothing to do with “les cloches” (bells) but with the old French “clocher” (to limp).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So “il y a quelque chose qui cloche” could be translated by “Something is limping, something is not working as it should”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was exactly our feeling when our eldest came back with her A-level results where the predicted As had been turned into Cs by the magic of an algorithm…\ud83d\ude44<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good luck to all the students out there waiting for their results!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
