Where my French at?

So I was using bumbling through the French version of the iTunes music store tonight, the better to browse Yann Tiersen's catalog (unavailable on the English iTunes store - what gives?) and it asked for my iTunes password (in French). I entered it. I got an error message. In French.

Now I am navigating the Apple retrieve-your-password jungle (humorously, the address is iforgot.apple.com). In French.

My only real thoughts on this matter are these:

1) How come the 10 minutes of my life during which I need someone to read French happen to be when there's nobody around to read it? I mean, for serious, my last 3 boyfriends (and Z) all speak French and the only time I ever got to take advantage of this was when I was actually IN France with one of them.

2) It's amazing what you can infer just from visual clues even if you can't read the words - I've been through enough password retrieval forms that it wasn't too hard to figure out when they were asking for my secret identity question.

3) Does this mean that Apple's gonna think I'm French now? I just got a confirmation email... in French.

p.s. You know that Yann Tiersen did more than the Amelie soundtrack, right? Dude plays the accordion like none other. He's so cool. Ask me about seeing him live in Dublin sometime. One of my top 10 concerts for sure.
