I had a sandwich with "au jus" sauce today.

[ZombieNixon]

:cry:

[Oeditpus Rex]

1. So you had a sandwich

with with juice sauce?

:shrug:

[ZombieNixon]

3. Yes.

Damn ungrammatical menus. x( The sandwich was good, though. :9

[lizziegrace]

2. Why does this bother you so much?

:(

[lizziegrace]

4. Duh

Au Jus - Au means with and the menu put "with Au Jus"

A bit redundant. :(

[ZombieNixon]

5. Uh-huh...

x(

[Ptah]

27. Redundancy abounds.

28. Actually, the sun is shining all the time

although sometimes objects like clouds or the Earth between you and the sun prevent you from seeing it.

6. I like sandwiches with "au jus" sauce

And the grammar doesn't bother me a bit.

I think it's entirely appropriate to treat "au jus" as the name of the sauce, and therefore treat the foreign preposition as part of that name, rather than as a distinct part of speech in the (english) sentence.

But that's just me. Some folks like to have something to get worked up about :) (In that case, my advice is usally to go for it :toast:)

[ZombieNixon]

7. I like the sandwiches,

but the grammar just grates on my nerves for some reason. :shrug: :toast:

[fishwax]

13. everyone needs a pet peeve or two :)

I think the grammar is okay, like I said. But if it grates on you, then you should certainly run with it. Anything to stay motivated and focused and looking toward the future, that's what I say :)

[ZombieNixon]

14. I shall never rest until C.J. Arthur's grammaticizes their menu,

the bastards. :grr: :P

[fishwax]

21. hey, if you ever get a protest together, let me know

This is what I'm thinking: perhaps you could convince the restaurant that a protest would be good publicity, and so they'd give you free food while you were picketing. It's worth a shot anyway. And if they won't give you free food, I'm sure there's a competing restaurant that would gladly throw some sandwiches your way in order to cater to the grammatically friendly.

Something to think about. I'd show up too, of course, to lend my support :) :9

8. "With it's own juice" or, blood to be specific.

Yum.

Ha ha...had to say it.

[ZombieNixon]

10. I know, I'm a sinner...

x(

But, it was just after I helped canvass for Democrats, so I had to cancel out my good deed for the day.

[flvegan]

15. I heard that

Democrats were the devil (maybe that's a bad "The Waterboy" flashback...who knows?).

I'm just giving you grief. You certainly didn't cancel out your GREAT deed(s) for the day.

[ZombieNixon]

18. No,

but if today is any indication, canvassing for them makes you get "Karma Chameleon" stuck in your head. x(

(Yeah, I know :P)

[flvegan]

19. Dude, if you just earwormed me

with that crap, I'm gonna...I'm gonna...

Hmmm...nothing. I'm just gonna have bad MTV flashbacks of that stupid video to boot.

[ZombieNixon]

20. Thank god I have never seen the video...

x(

[greatauntoftriplets]

9. French dip???

:9

I was in Michigan a month ago and had a French dip at the Grand Rapids airport waiting for my flight back. It had cheese on it, as well as the "au jus sauce".

:wtf:

[ZombieNixon]

12. No cheese,

but yes. French dip. :9

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. I had never heard of a French dip with cheese....

It was all right, but not as good as others I have had. At least the place had Guinness.

:beer:

[Tab]

11. I agree with you

That one little mistake tells me a lot about whether a restaurant knows its stuff or not.

It even beats out "Open seven days".

[ZombieNixon]

17. It doesn't bother me all that much if the food's good.

(Which it was.) I just like to nitpick sometimes. :P

[RevolutionaryActs]

22. mmm with and juice sauce.

:drool:

[ghostsofgiants]

24. "And juice" would be "et jus".

[RevolutionaryActs]

26. It isn't "and juice", why did I think it was "and juice"?

Someone has been lying to me. :grr: Or maybe I'm just a ditz who doesn't know French... hmm I think I might be onto something there. :silly:

[Benfea]

23. Get a Chicago style Italian beef and that becomes a non-issue.

After all, the "jus" is soaked into the bread, and no one ever says "au jus" because it's assumed to be in the sandwich.

[Rabrrrrrr]

25. Bwuhahaha! I love it! Fucking moron shitbags.

Did you get it with au jus sauce, or just with au jus?

You didn't happen to get cheesy au gratin potatoes, too, did you?
