OMG *glomp* Thankyouthankyouthankyou! Seriously, I'm so happy someone's filled this!
OK, I have some links with further Franglais examples for you!
An article explaining Franglais with examples and a glossary at the end: http://awomansparis.wordpress.com/2010/06/25/ici-on-parle-franglais/ About.com has a list of some here with explanations. http://french.about.com/od/franglais/Franglais_English_in_French.htm There's the obligatory Wikipedia article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franglais
Please feel free to peruse the examples and pick whatever calls to you for this story. ^^
Re: America & England language barriers. OK ... a scenario just came to me where after the Soviet Union collapsed America (heroically) relented and started to learn it, but his Russian is still ... not that good. Uh, sorry if that's too pushy, I'm going to shut up now. >->
One thing I'd like to say for future reference is that (disclaimer: I don't know much French) I think France and England would use 'tu' rather than 'vous' to address each other, so 'Dépêchez-vous' would be 'Dépêche-toi', etc.
