Well, more than three, that's for sure. But yes, French, Spanish, Italian (and I'm going to mention Portuguese here as well) do have many words in common, well, at least the spelling in some cases is similar, though the meaning might change. For example, I know there is a word in Italian that it's spelled "sera", but it means something different than "to be", in fact, it's not even a verb. I will also bet the few things I have that Romanian also has a word with similar spelling, since it is also a Neo-Latin language.
Ha! My Dad taught me that when I was little!!! I complained that it was hard to learn Spanish, and he taught me this little gem.... I'm so glad other people know this...

One time i asked my brother who lived in Argentina for a few years what does s o c k s mean, and he said, "it is what it is?" And i was like no, i was spelling socks...
Somehow I didn't undestand this until someone explained it to me. Cause in spanish the "que" isn't pronunce like "k"... And yes, I speak Spanish and English. And what you say sounds so wierd. This post makes me mad.
