"Through"

"Thru" is also deemed acceptable in some cases... as in "Fast-Food Drive-Thru"

It would be through, not "through". Likewise with "thru". However, the assertion that the two forms are interchangeable is flawed, since "thru" is a fragment of the colloquial drive-thru and thus should not "stand alone" as a preposition. Furthermore, the use of an ellipsis in the sentence is incorrect; a comma would have been the appropriate punctuation.

Edit again: I just watched the Batman: Arkham Asylum sequel teaser trailer and noticed a "NO THRU ROAD" sign on the gates at the very beginning. "NO THRU TRAFFIC" is much more common though.

This comment was taken out of context. There should have been a comma after rode.

...over 15,000 bikers rode, threw paris on a protest,

paris should also have a capital "P". Thence, ...over 15,000 bikers rode, threw Paris on a protest.

I also think it should be, " this threw Paris into a protest".

Now that Paris has been thrown on (or into) a protest, I ask, "was this about cheese, wine, or some other important French per-dick-a-ment"?

Maybe it was supposed to read, "over 15,000 biker road, this threw Paris into a protest". Was the road not big enough? Was the road only for bikers?

There really isn't enough information!

I have searched youboob and not found any such protest.

It is still modifying a noun and not being used as a preposition.

I now know more about grammer then I ever wanted to know. Hey let me look up an appropriate joke and post it here.

i hope i don't get any nightmare about french grammar, french high school was a nightmare in itself.

(thought i'd put something linked to france in here since that's what the topic was original about)

It has been found! We should probably move the on-topic discussion there.

That leaves us with an on-going off-topic conversation to continue.

Luckily, I only said that it "is also deemed acceptable in some cases." Those cases were where a shortened version is required, like on space-limited signs, forms, and road markings. In fact, I was specifically thinking of markings I've seen actually painted on the road when I said that but I mentioned fast-food because it's nearly universally applied there.
