I'd initially misread the whole thing -- that he was using "le" instead of "la" -- I had it flipped. Hence my claim: <blockquote> Like “la” in French, it just doesn’t sound foreign enough! </blockquote> Now that I see I dyslexicized it I have to agree with Randy: I don't know what he's saying. Unless, maybe, he's agreeing with you, mark, in thinking that "la" sounds more French. But that doesn't work for my prejudices. Oh well. Same central point: still about wanting to "sound foreign" by "sounding French" -- whatever the individual thinks "sounding French" actually sounds like.
