Does this make sense?
Makes perfect sense, as ever, Fay.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The French pronounce double L, don't they? I thought it was just Spanish that makes it a Y.
It depends on the previous vowel, IIRC. In the case of an 'i' it's not pronounced. (I think it is for an 'e'.)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Ladock: "Group Hug!"
Bwah! Oh, that's adorable.
(Cheers, Fiona!)

Hi Billytea.
Oh, my team won today too. In proper football, that is.

Who are your team?

Um, I don't think so. "Fille" (girl) is pronounced "fee", with a slight y-y wobble between the ees.
Unfortunately, the little French I ever had is very, very rusty so it may be a while before my brain digs up any other examples.
Edit: French is full of rules and exceptions to them, though, so just about anything could apply.

Yep, "ll" after "i" in French is always a "y" sound, except when it's not (ville, mille, etc.)

FayJay--my team are Melbourne (and by proper football in this instance I mean Aussie Rules).

Damn. I meant to put this at the end of my last post. Ah well, better late than never:
Oh, and Angus? Pfffft.
Meanwhile, my aerial ping-pong team (Northern Kangaroos) seem to have managed a rather heart-stopping tie. Bloody drama queens. (But, in common with the Raiders, they remain undefeated.)

I'm now obsessed with this "fillet" thing.
