Salut editors,

The French language, so full of rules as it is, doesn't make the
distinction of number.  The reciprocal or mutual reflexive pronoun, 'se'
works for 'each other' and 'one another'.   The reference is, after all,
plural.

Les autos se ressemblent.       (resemble one another)
Jean et Marc se connaissent.   (know each other)

Your knowledge and precision is truly marvellous!  I learn something with
each posting.

Judy
