RE: Time to abandon TAS?
There are lots of examples like this one. Hôpital, maître, île...

Other tricky namesakes:
Votre -> Your
Vôtre -> Yours
Voir -> See
Voire (don’t pronounce the “e”) -> Even

And also, inexistant grammatical rules:
Adjective qualifiers:
- English: before the name
- French: often after, sometimes before, sometimes before or after, with the risk of changing the significance of the sentence... (“un homme grand”: a tall man ; “un grand homme”: a famous man)

We love these traps! We use them to be sure that a French man/woman abroad will never be unemployed, at worst s/he will be a French teacher.
