No no no no no. Double entendre is two words and one of them is English.

Just emailed you Joint Control and the Wheel, as PDFs. Let me know if they don't arrive.

"double" is also french.

From Wictionary:
Etymology:
French double (“double”) + entendre (“to mean, to understand”).

But I don't know if they use the expression, or whether it's an english expression using french words.

how to pronounce double entendre:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GquPfqXeoYU

The expression comes from French double = "double" and entendre = "to hear" (but also "to understand"). However, the English formulation is a corruption of the authentic French expression ą double entente. Modern French uses double sens instead; the phrase double entendre has no real meaning to a native French speaker.

Hi Jon, just checked my email, thanks so much. Was trying to rest the fingers tonight by sussing out the chords to Chris Bell's I Am The Cosmos, but I'll not be able to resist inflicting more joint damage now ha ha!

Thanks again, very much appreciated!
