No. "Trois" is french.

"Tres" is French for very. Tre Cool is supposed to sound like "Tres Cool" - "Very Cool" in French. See my earlier post explaining why he spells it "Tre" instead of "Tres":

Tre's name is a mixture of two languages. He was given the nickname Tre by his family when he was little because he's Frank Edwin Wright the Third, and "tre" is Italian for three. Then later Larry Livermore added the Cool, making it sound like "tres cool", French for "very cool".

So the spelling's a bit funny, but it started out as Italian for three and turned into French for very cool.

Oh :lol:. Well I guess I didn't think they were saying that Tre was French for 3, just that it was French. But if that's what they meant then yeah, you're right of course.

as far as I gather Tre Cool means "be cool", as in stay frosty :P

I think it's an urban GDC myth that Tre means "very" in French, but that's wrong

And it would be "très" then, if it was "very", not "tre"... ;)

edit: oh, I see - this has been answered a hundred times... très cool... :lol:
