:I do not talk French but my dictionary tells me that "d'œuvre" (without the trailing ''s'') is correct. Thanks for your hint, explanation is updated.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 19:41, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
 
::"Hors d'oeuvres" is English; ''"hors d'œuvre"'' (with a ligature and without the trailing ''s'') is French. [[Special:Contributions/173.245.50.84|173.245.50.84]] 12:53, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 
:::I am dumbfounded at the pronounciation part of the explanation. Do you really pronounce it with the "r" sound before the "v" sound? Why would you do that? [[Special:Contributions/141.101.102.216|141.101.102.216]] 15:24, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 
:::: Basing my pronunciation on what I heard in the TV series ''Bewitched'', I get something like /ɔːˈdɜːv/. In a rhotic accent, this would be /ɔ:ɹˈdɜːɹv/. [[User:RyanofTinellb|RyanofTinellb]] ([[User talk:RyanofTinellb|talk]]) 01:18, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
 
:::::None the less angicised it is pronounced ordurves. Arsenic is a pick-me-up in low doses and widely used at one time to show off horses, especially at sales. Many people died through its abuse in the good old days. Many creatures exist on poisonous habitats. On one Nat Geo show they had bison in Yellowstone eating arsenic rich vegetation in winter.

I have heard there is a grass in Amlwch's old copper quarry that can grow in copper rich soil that kills everything else.
 
 
 
Not sure how true any of that is but plenty of creatures live in extreme heat and pressure environments.
