the trick to french is you just laugh in french and that fixs everything, so just go around like "hor hor hor" and everything will be fine.

it works, my mum worked with a chinese person that didnt know much english here and to fit in she just laughed in english and it worked here. so just laugh in french in france and it will work for sure for blending in.

lol

Nope....

"écrire" is the infinitive - "to write".
"vous" is 2nd person (and formal) and it takes the 2nd person form of écrire: "écrivez".
"français" is a masculine noun, so "le bon français".

Put it all together:

"Vous écrivez le bon français."
Sepulchrave [2092631]
Point taken.

I was, I suppose, translating the phrase: "You speak a refined variety of french" - rather than "You speak french well."

And besides - I learned french in Quebec so shoot me ;)
