Did you know?

  • In French administration, the act of filling out a form is often associated with la paperasserie, a derogatory term for excessive and tedious bureaucracy.
  • The word ce used to point out the form is an evolution of the Latin exclamation ecce, which was used to mean 'behold' or 'look'.
  • In the regional Picard dialect of France, the formal 'you' used in your request might be replaced by the word os rather than the standard vous.
