Une or un (Was: Paris Visit)

[Paolo Cavallo]

I just came home from a trip in Paris. I don't know if anybody raised the
subject already, but in the French translation of GR, L'Arc-en-ciel de la
gravite', the second section's title is Une perm' au Casino Hermann Goering.
So is in the Italian translation. As a matter of fact, the word "permission"
(furlough) is feminine; the word "permis" is masculine, but its meaning is
different.

A mistake? Weisenburger does not fix it...
