New Le pique des nittes
the lower-case poet complains:
"This is a lerpadism".
Decidedly wrong. It should read: "This is NOT a lerpadism", or better yet (from an avid lover of Magritte), "Ce n'est pas un lerpadism."
Actually, to pick tiny nits, "Ceci n'est pas un lerpadism".

Or, perhaps better yet, "Ceci n'est pas une lerpadisme"? (Who knows what gender lerpadisms have in French?)

New Hey, I just write what babelfish tells me :D
Always happy to have someone else's bad language skills corrected ;) French is not one of the many languages I don't claim to have no skill in.
---------------------------------
A stupid despot may constrain his slaves with iron chains; but a true politician binds them even more strongly by the chain of their own ideas;...despair and time eat away the bonds of iron and steel, but they are powerless against the habitual union of ideas, they can only tighten it still more; and on the soft fibres of the brain is founded the unshakable base of the soundest of Empires."

Jacques Servan, 1767
