I asked a woman to have lunch with me and she said her fianc'ee (fee-on-say) wouldn't like that. I then asked her if she way marrying a another woman.
Q. What is the difference between a fianc'e and a fianc'ee.
A. The difference between a man and a woman.
hard for me to figure out how to put the ' on top of the e
A fianc'e is a man engaged to be married, fianc'ee is a woman betrothed.
Irks me when I hear persons use words, they know not what it means.
Oh well !

I used to live near a panel beater that had a sign that irked me every day, advertising chaccic repairs. It was on a window and was in service for at least the 5 years that I lived in the area before someone thankfully parked their car in the window one afternoon, it read "chassic repairs" after the insurance paid for a new window.
