The link to the dictionary of the digitalised treasure of the French language was fake, and it does not appear in other authoritative dictionaries. — This unsigned comment was added by Refulgir (talkcontribs) at 13:12, 10 July 2018‎.

The French section was added by a Canadian IP diff in 2008. Apparently "the Habs" are a Canadian hockey outfit. No idea who added the link. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 13:52, 10 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
