I
think it's interesting to note that many Americans equate
money with EVIL. Also, in class, somebody pointed out that
the French saw "argent" as something tangible...so they
used words like "piece", "monnaie", etc. The
Americans
see money as more of a concept, so hardly any of our words
had to do with tangible things. It's an interesting
difference to point out!
