Most of you sound like a bunch of wannabe French snobs. Get off your high horses and take it for what it is: Whether you approve of Julie's language or not, starting the Julie/Julia Project was a great idea and proved to be successful.

It's unfortunate that - according to Judith, whom I suspect begot a grudge against Julie when she realized she didn't want to even step foot in Julie's neighborhood let alone her apartment - Julia Child and apparently you seemingly intelligent JC fans can't see past some meaningless four-letter words.

Julie, like Julia Child, is raw and unashamed of who she is. You all who nitpick at words are missing out on the sentence, and most importantly, the story.

No one can deny the Julie Powell did well for herself by doing this project. Bravo for her to be the one-in-a-million average, every day person who took her life into her own hands and refused to settle for something mediocre. Shame on you all for trying to shame her.

Movies directors, producers, writers - they've had plenty of time to make a movie about Julia Child's life. But apparently this window into her life was more interesting to more people. The world and Hollywood world doesn't revolve around a snobbish faction of pompous wannabe chefs.

With respect.
