They do not allow linking directly to an entry, so you have to search on métier and click through on the results. _________________________ Ceci n'est pas un seing.

When you click OK there you can enter the site, but to get your question answered you have to work through email. If language were mon métier maybe I would do so, but I'm sure zmjezhd has searched the Trésor for it, which is best.

Top #204462 - 01/31/12 08:58 PM Re: metier [Re: Faldage] Avy old hand Registered: 06/23/00 Posts: 724 Leave it to THE MASTER to translate it for you Faldage-s. This is what it reads:"the site of the academy of French is under renovation. The public can pour over its decorations, its new contents and its new functions in 2012."

OK? You can search all of it.

This is what it reads:"the site of the academy of French is under renovation. The public can pour over its decorations, its new contents and its new functions in 2012." That much I got. Trying to find any helpful information on the etymology of métier was beyond me.

I did Google it and learned that the "Immortals" mentioned on the site are their board members. I guess humility isn't one of their requirements!
