14th! aaand... NO IDEA who that is
C'est bon! Merci, Pilana.
god bless google
ARRGH, So many ways to spell it but only one of them correct.
no ç...
Good grief, I had it early enough to finish in the top twelve, thanks to Google. BUT I copied the title in Wikipedia that contained a unique variation of a letter that wasn't recognized here. Left and came back only to realize it HAD to be the answer. Once I changed that letter, it worked. : )
EDIT: as identified by [5].
*sigh* Never heard of him.
France is a crybaby. True or false?
[8] True!
This crypto gave me my naner, yay!
Nice cluing!
Brilliant
Oh my gosh, I thought I'd tried that 45 minutes ago!!! Ackkkk! Nice cluing!
My three years of high school French finally pay off -- with spelling, at least. I feel sorry for you people who took a "useful" language like Spanish, instead ;-)
I don't speak French
[8] haaaaaa
Ohh.....showed up late tonight.....quel dommage.
I knew what the answer was going for, but couldn't think of the last clued word which then built a block in my brain to the answer word. Thank you google autocomplete!
I liked the dual use of Parisland in this one, as well as the hint it provides to the answer.
[17] C'est fromage!
[20] Moi aussi.
Google was my friend. This is one I never heard before!
You solved this puzzle in 3 seconds and were the 345th Tanga member to solve it.
[8] Ok, that's funny. :)
I too struggled with this one since I didn't know the person. Add to that that my initial assumption on the last clue was wrong, my second one was right but my Google attempt was too messed up to get to the answer, and then I went to an English->French translator which gave me a (slightly) different word for False. I am still impressed that Google was able to convert what I typed in (eventually) to the desired answer.
2 1/2 minutes still got me 83rd. I was actually surprised that so many other people are either familiar enough with French or with the person to get it so quickly.
I do like the cluing quite a bit. And, Will Shortz rocks. :)

Um, huh?
Who?
I don't know much about HIM, but I really enjoyed a book he wrote, which was a series of interviews that he conducted with a famous director. I won't say which director for fear of giving too much salt, but they discuss each of the director's films in the order that they were worked on. Pretty interesting.
Should really be spelled with a different letter...
I don't know, but I think the French should be speaking German.
The email should not have said it was a one word wonder.
