for reasons I cannot fathom, my Facebook has switched over to French

I can't change it back to english w/o logging off and I can't log back on unless I can remember my password

It'd be easier just to learn a few French words for the time being

Once you're logged on, there is no "lower left corner" - the bottom of the page just refreshes all the time

It's decided French should just go with my account

ARGH!!

Halfway down the pop-u menu is Settings. Click it.

Left hand side, Second group, Last item is Language. Click that.

Pick the Language you want and save.

Happened to a high school friend last week, switched to French and he has the conservative's fear/disdain of anything French. I didn't help him, but my sister did.
