Subject: another word in french

I often see the word not in the good ORTH :

it's ' cam*a*raderie ' and not the other one ' camraderie '
' camaraderie '

but I think to understand why it is often forgotten... in english with the ' a ' ....

of course letters in french compared to english haven't the same sound.

wait a second... I'm in my Robert & Collins :

I'm in the ' french/english '

' camarade ' in english can be translated in : ' comrade ' but ATTENTION here it's where we're in a * political * situation

I could post more about all this but I think I'll stop here.
I hope it's ok to post...

[> camaraderie and comrade probably come from the same Latin root, but comrade is much more associated with the old Soviet Union. Camaraderie doesn't seem to have the same "military" connotation as the other. -- The Chief, 21:47:06 11/24/11 Thu [1]
