Cultural Tip

In French, the superlative "le plus + adjective" is the standard way to say "the most/fastest...". When the noun being described is feminine, the article and adjective must agree (e.g., "la plus rapide"). Also, brand names like "Express Mail" are often kept in their original language, but the surrounding grammar follows French rules.
