The LA Times thought it might be fun to run my light-hearted take on when to use tu and vous, excerpted from my about-to-be-released memoir Flirting with French, but when the piece got picked up by Le Monde, it went viral in France, garnering over 30,000 Facebook links in one day, with Le Monde (and many of the comments) taking it all quite seriously!
Serves me right for mucking about with the French language, I guess. But I think I did get most of it right. You can see the original chart here and francophones can see Le Monde's treatment of it here.
