I've heard you can thread them together once. Is that true?

Yep. The thread shape (i.e. peaks and valleys) may be a little different, but the diameter and thread pitch is close enough not to matter. Just don't try putting an English thread headset on a French thread fork- everyone knows the French hate the English. :D
