It's gold only if it comes from the Dore région of France. Otherwise it's just sparkling metal.

  That accent somehow migrated two characters too far.
  • stavros 6mo ago
    Nah that's how it's spelled in French.
    • sph 6mo ago
      True, but ‘Doré’ means golden, and would make for a better joke.

        On the other hand, Dore is an actual toponym. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monts_Dore https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monts_Dore

      The French part in that sentence should be the name of the region (eg Doré(e) ), not "région", and if you wanted to use the French spelling of "région", you'd have to say "région Dore". Using the French spelling of région but the wrong word order doesn't make sense.

          There is no joke so funny and trivial that HN can't overthink and criticize it.
          • stavros 6mo ago
            Above all, we want our comedy accurate.
• jjgreen 6mo ago
  True connoisseurs prefer the metal from Lingots.
  • IAmBroom 6mo ago
    It's in the terroir.
    • rkomorn 6mo ago
      Better than keeping gold in the tiroir.
