No French Word Spelling Error After all!

[Xanthus798 · 9/10 · 28 November 2023]

An earlier reviewer on Nov 12, 2023 wrote there was a misspelling on a cafe menu sign behind DiNozzo. The reviewer said the word "VEN" should have been spelled VIN (wine), he also said that the word next to VEN was rouge, meaning red wine. The review concludes that Hollywood doesn't even care to check simple facts like it once did.

Actually, there were no misspellings. The sign listed some weekend specials by day. VEN is an abbreviation for Vendredi meaning Friday. The words grouped across from it are "rougets" meaning red mullets and "ratatouille," which is a vegetable stew. Below VEN is word SAM the abbreviation for Samedi meaning Saturday. Across from it are Saturday's specials.

So, there you have it. A criticism with no basis in fact. How many others lurk out there?

French error is disappointing

[slaventure-49721 · 9/10 · 12 November 2023]

Tony is sitting at a cafe where a server has just given him his check. There is a slate sign to his right (our left) that has a spelling error. It says VEN with rouge as one of the choices. Obviously meant to be wine but spelled wrong.

The word wine in French is spelled VIN but if someone spelled it in French vay-eee-ehn, to an English speaker, they would likely write an E instead of I. Since a French I sounds like an English E. But they wrote it as vay-euh-ehn.

While average English speakers would not notice, it certainly is something that ruins the scene and reminds us that Hollywood doesn't care to be authentic anymore.

Great episode

This is the Tony I always love! Tonight's episode showed a smart, competent, funny yet still professional, when needed, federal agent by the name of Anthony DiNozzo! The whole team was amazing and this episode was great. NCIS keep getting better and better... Can't wait for next week. The team, all of them seem so human to me. The best on NCIS is that they are not super heroes. I have fun every Tuesday night and i am so glad the whole cast renewed their contracts for season 12. This is the Tony I always love!
