Not worth a thread but this is driving me nuts. Every time I want to use the word "rappore" my spell checker throw it out.

How do you spell "rappore". None of my spell checkers or MS Word have the faintest idea what word I'm trying to spell and none come up with spelling suggestions.

I mean rappore in the sense of getting along well with someone, a friendship. Often used in the phrase "to build up a rappore".

Are you sure you don't mean raport?

Thank you!! ! Yes! Learning French is messing with my English. The final "t" is silent in both English and French so I'd forgotten it was there! Adding an extra P in the middle didn't help either.

Yup, it's from the French language and it means any type of relationship. (My first language is
French...). :wink:
