The trainer would tell me to accélérez, so I naturally pressed down on the accelerator. In French, it’s normal to say the negative at the end of the command. I hadn’t waited for the pas at the end. Accélérez pas = Don’t accelerate…
This reminds me of a M*A*S*H episode where Hawkeye and BJ are trying to disarm a bomb that landed in the camp. They were getting instructions over the radio. “Cut the green wire … but first …”
“I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if dozens of fries suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.”
