Actually, the average French is at least 10 notches more intellectual than the average American. They rather go to the museum then to to watch Jerry Springer or Okrah!
Let me help you out with your English.
"Actually, the average Frenchman is intellectually superior to the average American. The French would rather go to a museum than watch Jerry Springer or Oprah!"
Truth be told, so would the average American.
'Okrah,' by the way, is not a name. Okra is a vegetable of African origin commonly grown in the southern United States. It has a distinctive flavor whether fried or stewed and southern cooks consider it useful to include it in hearty soups because of its thickening properties.
It is bad streotypical to pick on France, a country that helped us gain independence, and a culture that most of the world borroed heavily from.
Hmmm, 'stereotypical' is not only spelled incorrectly, it is used incorrectly in your sentence. I'm usually not fussy with English usage or spelling because my own skills could use improvement, but here goes:
It is typical of Americans to pick on France, a country whose people had once helped us to gain our independence, and a culture from which much of the borrowed heavily.
And there is a little problem here, too:
However, if you don't understand my point, or you don't care about the facts, then all you have to do is go back to watching Jerry Spinger in your mobile home--Baba!
"If you don't understand my point because of my poor English skills, or you don't care about the facts, then all you need do is disregard me and go back to watching Jerry Springer on the TV in your mobile home."
I don't know what you mean by 'baba.' Are you referring to the stereotypical redneck name of 'Bubba,' or to the urban slang term, 'ba-bye?'
