in reply to a message by Ellie

An S-pear? You remind me of an joke about an automobile called the S-Car. I forget the joke itself, but remember the punchline:
"Look at that S-car go!"
"Look at that S-car go!"

Hi,
there's a French word "espoir" which means hope, confidence. Maybe someone has just added an -e to make the word a female name???
