No, unfortunately for you you have failed to notice that we are writing in
English not French. The expression in English is, as Tony said it, "chacun à
son goût". He just left off the accents. (And mistyped "o" for "u".)
That the expression as used in English is not the same as the original
expression as used in French does not surprise me at all. If it surprises
you, then you have not studied language (as opposed to languages, which you
clearly have studied).

Now that (merde) sounds so much better in French than it would if translated
into English. ;-)
