Default Mr. Good's comment about changes--

Your point is well taken about change, but I am confused as to the letters "pt"- My daughter is a French History major at Oberlin College, and like her mother, Jean Marie, is fluent in that language as well. The phrase "plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose" which Jean-Baptise Alphonse Karr authored somewhere between 1939 and 1849 in the monthly French magazine Les Guepes- is translated exactly as "the more it changes, the more it is the same thing" which has now morphed into the more common vernacular as you had written it-- Words of truth and wisdom, mon Ami.
