    One thing to know about French language, is that whenever there is a grammar rule, it only covers at best 50% of cases and the rest are exceptions to the rule.

    For instance:

    • cigar -> cigarette
    • trompe -> trompette
    • (Cool, looks like we have a rule here)
    • baguette, must be a small bague, right ? WRONG ! It’s a small bâton.
