[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We called them both, but this reminds me of the game "Chutes and Ladders." I've been told that in England they call them chutes- is that true?

Ummm, the game is called “snakes and ladders”.[/quote]

I am from Montreal and we used both terms. Chute is slide in French. [/quote]

No, it is not. A chute is a waterfall. A slide is a glissoire, toboggan but everyone calls it a "glissade".
The game is called Serpents et échelles (Snakes and Ladders)[/quote]

True but it is also used to describe a drop, a fall, or a slide.[/quote]

A drop or a fall, yes. But a playground slide, no. I'd like you to prove me wrong. :lol: Can you come up with a sentence in which the word "chute" designates a playground slide?[/quote]

What are you, the French cops  :wink: ?  I was an Anglo in a French Quebec school, with French friends, and have my own words for things.  [/quote]

Hahaha. C'est ce que je pensais. :P  Bonne journée![/quote]

Ben oui![/quote]
