Eventually she
stumbled upon a videotape her father had tucked away in a small box
under
his bed. It had a title that sounded French, 'Deluxe Menage a Trios,'.

Should be "sounded French, 'Deluxe Menage a Trois.'"

Actually, it should REALLY be...

It had a title that sounded French: "Deluxe Menage a Trois."


Well...  If we care about correct French "grammaire et orthographe", let's go
all the way!


It had a title that sounded French: "Deluxe Menage a Trois."

It should really, REALLY be... "M�nage � Trois Deluxe."

For the title (supposing it wasn't intentional):

"Je ne sais pas de quoi je parle" (I don't know what I'm talking about)

or

"Je ne sais pas ce que je dis" (I don't know what I'm saying)


and finally:

"Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?" (I'm pretty sure 'choucher' doesn't
exist...)

Actually, the tone is awfully formal ^_^;

I'd suggest:

"Tu veux coucher avec moi ce soir?"



But well, that sort of details really only hurts those for whom French is the
native language.  Since we're probably not much more than a couple dozen on this
list, you can safely disregard this whole mail.
