OP I spent a few days reading some posts after signing up and before posting, and I noticed that there is at least one person whose first language is French. BelMarduk, could you, or anybody else, tell me if there is a connection between mercy and merci, or if it is just one of those alphabetical accidents. I know that these accidents can happen, I seem to remember my Max telling me that "gift" in German means "poison." So, I would like to know if mercy/merci is like that, or if there's a link.
