'71 Audi 100 ad

[Louis-Alain_Richard at computerhorizons.com]

French is so complicated... but so beautiful. As are the French women.

If "Grand Prix" is taken as a single expression, then no "s" needed; 18
Grand Prix. It's like a proper name, we don't put "s" at family names, for
example.
"Les frères Schumacher courrent tous les deux en Grand Prix".

If 2 separated common words, then "grand" would take an "s", but not "prix"
because of the end in "x".

Example: "Les 18 grands prix on été attribués à Audi".


Even me, I must double-check all my work because of the numerous specifics
of French language.
