I thought it looked wrong, but I was confused by the "e" at the end of "monde" (as I suspect Simon was).

yes, i know french is not easy with gender words.
"e" is not always designating a female gender. And such, "monde" is of male gender ; but "terre" (earth) is female. Ship is, for us french, male (and female for anglo-saxon);

and we drive right when english drive left

Does someone know what it implies when i get , in old WitP, a message saying "japanese units surrounded". Does it has an effect on ground combat, or supplies, or else ???

Think it means they're more likely to break under assault, but I can't give you anything concrete to back it up.

Just have installed Windows 7 on my laptop. Looks really great and is also very fast (but most fresh installed Windows are...).
I found out yesterday, that my university offers Windows 7 for free, so I had to take a look.

Really amazing so far!

Of course "right" doesn't mean correct. You go ahead and do what Napoleon told you to do, we'll stick with the Roman way of doing things.

We have different words. With different meaning (well, like any others language of course). What is difficult is to understand the precise meaning:
-"monde"; male gender; mean "the world", so it could be the planet, or the people living on it. We say "world is at us" when we want to say all opportunities are possibles.
-"terre"; female gender; mean "the earth" (planet) but also the soil that peasants works on; mean the ground ; we have "feets on the earth" to say we have realistics idea.

but there is nothing really confusing, of course

Spare a thought for the poor Italians:

Which side of the road the Romans drove on is disputed. Archaeological evidence in Britain seems to indicate driving on the left but old Roman roads in Turkey suggest Romans used the right hand side of the road.[57] In Italy the practice of traffic driving on the right first began in the late 1890s, but it was not until the mid 1920s that it became standard throughout the country. There was a long period when traffic in the countryside drove on the right while major cities continued to drive on the left.[58] Rome, for example, did not change from left to right until 20 October 1924. Milan was the last Italian city to change to driving on the right (3 August 1926). Cars had remained right-hand drive (RHD) until this time. Alfa Romeo and Lancia did not produce LHD cars until as late as 1950 and 1953, respectively.[59]

Pfft...Romans....what have they ever done for civilization?

Aqueducts and roads.

Aqueducts, roads and schools.

We like anglo-saxon words and use them whenever allowed. Which isn't here.

We've got to have the grumpy blind dog put down today. He bit Freddie last night. No damage to the nipper, but we just can't take the chance. He has been living on borrowed time since we rescued him four and a half years ago, but there can only be so many chances. Farewell Harry, my tough little soldier...

It's a sad, but necessary choice we have to make in those circumstances. Sorry to hear it, Carl.
