English Language
In the United States, the term "Au jus" often is incorrectly used to refer to the broth, rather than meaning "with the broth" as in French. So rather than a "sandwich au jus", the menu may read "sandwich with au jus". It is typically served with the French dip sandwich.

Famous quotes containing the words english and/or language:
“It is hard to believe that England is so near as from your letters it appears; and that this identical piece of paper has lately come all the way from there hither, begrimed with the English dust which made you hesitate to use it; from England, which is only historical fairyland to me, to America, which I have put my spade into, and about which there is no doubt.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“My God! The English language is a form of communication! Conversation isn’t just crossfire where you shoot and get shot at! Where you’ve got to duck for your life and aim to kill! Words aren’t only bombs and bullets—no, they’re little gifts, containing meanings!”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
