Quelle scandal! Real Housewives star LuAnn de Lesseps is spotted with a sexy Frenchman... as Sonja Morgan gets naked for late night swim

Scandale (with an e) is masculine, so it should be Quel scandale!

The story is definitely worth a WHO?????!!!!

Unusual, that. Probably confuses a lot of English people, to be honest.

There are a few, and yes they do confuse: un texte, un groupe, and so on.

Also it's un scandale and un vandale, but une sandale.

Grammar is difficult!

Looking forward to all the inevitable comments about how Johnny Foreigner should bloody well learn to speeka de Eeenglish and how using interpreters in court (a practice which also helps to protect the rights of witnesses and victims as well as defendants, but never mind because everybody knows they're all guilty anyway, no smoke without fire doncha know) is a waste of ARE TAX MONEY.
