    Yes you are right that Geaux isn't a French word. It's just a play on the fact that many last names here end in -eaux and pronounced "o" so instead of go Cajuns it's Geaux Cajuns. igeaux.mobi

    You md me log on ______. French spelling rules are bunk. Little known fact "x" was sometimes added for plural. Any language that has traveled around the world will always have spelling exceptions.
