Birthplace of de Grasse[edit]

I changed something which is refered to in the Wikiworld as vadalism. The place of birth for the comte de Grasse in the English Wikipedia was listed as "Bare-ofe-shitt". I read the French Wikipedia article on de Grasse, and changed his birthplace to Bar-sur-loup as given in that article.JGC1010 (talk) 02:59, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Taller than George Washington?[edit]

In Dewey Lambdin’s semi-historical novel The King’s Commission it is said that De Grasse lifted George Washington off his feet and hugged him, calling him “Mon petit general”. if there is a safer source from this, it would be an interesting addition to the article.
