Language Barriers 2

The friend who disparaged my pancakes (as I did hers) has pointed out that I failed to mention my third understanding of the word pronounced "marquee" and sometimes spelled "marquis": a nobleman of the finest tradition, dedicated to helping oppressed peoples throw off the shackles of foreign dictatorship; often bearing the name "de Lafayette."

And I misspelled "caricature."
