Bien reçu.

Cependant un de mes dicos :

--------------
In standard use *nonplussed* means ?surprised and confused?, as
 in /she was/ *nonplussed* /at his eagerness to help out/. In
 North American English a new use has developed in recent years,
 meaning ?unperturbed?-more or less the opposite of its
 traditional meaning-as in /he was clearly trying to
 appear/ *nonplussed*. This new use probably arose on the
 assumption that non- was the normal negative prefix and must
 therefore have a negative meaning. Although the use is common it
 is not yet considered standard.
