What, specifically? That Mike got his French wrong?

I'm sorry, but I can't see your problem. Mike brought up the idea of 
Superman farting his way aloft, I merely corrected his spelling and 
provided a reference for those ignorant of his reference.

For the record, I thought Mike was being pretty funny, actually. It 
would be funnier if Superman's farts had caught alight, possibly 
boosting his flying performance and providing startling visual effects.
