     Les enfants, aujourd’hui, le répètent en choeur : "papa" était sévère, donnait quelques torgnoles, mais cela leur a permis de "marcher droit".

     The children today repeat like a choir 'dad' was harsh with us, gave us a few wallops but it was that that allowed us to 'stay on the right path'.

Usage notes

• The œ ligature is often replaced in contemporary French with oe (the œ character does not appear on AZERTY keyboards), but this is nonstandard.
