All french is different, The french they speak in france is alot different then quebec french, even in different locations in quebec it's not the same , My neighbors are french and when they went to quebec the people were giving them a hard time because they didn't like some of their french terms, Just for the record i don't speak french this is just what my neighbors have told me.

"Chouette" is pretty much a generic term of approbation in French, so can mean good, great, cool, awesome, lovely, cute, wonderful...whatever! Technically it means 'owl'. When I lived in France many years ago people used to say 'vachement chouette' - 'vachement' being slang for 'very'. But 'vache' means 'cow', so in my family when we wanted (in English) to say that something was 'very good' or 'very cool', we would say 'cowly owl'! Haha! Where exactly did you live in France? Ever visited Belgium?

You would have to have not even shit - more like shit burned to ashes and then stomped into the ground and fossilized - for brains to think that the author of that sentence was a native French speaker. It's not that it's spelled wrong, it's that it is nowhere near a coherent sentence, is clearly out of an internet translator as it has a misspelled English word in the middle of it (ETA - plus I can easily tell by looking at the sentence patterns. After the hundreds of high school French class papers I've graded, I can tell instantly whether or not something is out of a translator... a big hint is when it's RANDOM FRENCH WORDS STRUNG TOGETHER). Il vraiment isnt qui confondant ^Jibberish. Couldn't be an actual sentence regardless of how you look at it. If someone will lie over something as stupid as what their native language is, who knows what else they'll lie about? *rolls eyes*
