Paul:	I'm in the food court or, as the French call it, "le food courté"
Graham:	Isn't it "LA food courté"?
Paul:	It depends on what restaurants are there. If they are girly restaurants it is "la", if it is manly places like steakhouses and burger joints then it is "le"
Graham:	What if they're exceptionally girly burger joints? Like, Princess Ruffle's Fluffy Burger Castle?
Paul:	It can go either way. That is why France has Académie Française, to make those kind of tough calls.
Graham:	Truly, a merci-less job.
