              Not all the time, apparently they eat dead canards or live canards = ducks. They have as people here a "wide range of two options", the way I see it. Au revoir mon ami.

                                      If you are, that's okay with me, as long as you cook it first.

                                        That is such a bizarre question? Does this happen so often that it had to appear in language training?

                                          The goal of language training is to give a strong impression so that you won't easily forget. This sentence accomplishes that goal.
