Yah. That listmaker was as innocent of French as of Spanish; somewhat tin of ear. The Q in coq should be pronounced, though for the true French sound, not as powerfully as a final consonant would be en anglais. Et cetera. Unless you're maybe Canadian.

The poor fellow hadn't the huevos to tackle Au Jus.
