“Professor Merriman's anecdotes about various historical figures are great, and added to what I was already familiar with. But I cannot stand his ceaseless name-dropping of France. I am an American educated in French schools, and therefore love France as much as Prof. Merriman, but I am simply embarassed for him, especially since he tries to pronounce things with a French accent but his accent is simply not very good. It got to the point where I would have to stop listening because I was so annoyed with his pride at owning his own house in France, at telling everyone how "we the French" view things (though he obviously did not grow up there, even if he is now a citizen), etc. When he talks about things not related to France (like Russia), it is much easier to listen to him.
His intellect is clear, but he is also a stereotypical intellectual.”
