Meanwhile, smart people: I sure do love Libre Office.

Libre Office.

Honestly - and flame away - I hate the name. I hate saying it. It's the 'moist' of borrowed words. Leeeeeeeebr. And I'm a Canadian who did French up to university-level conversational "explain something for 20 min" French (from a gorgeous caribbean dynamo teacher, but I justif--uh, digress) so I know how to say the word and what it means.

And I still hate it. I'm a horrible person -- even before I continued French study because the prof was so engaging and energetic and brightened every room and every day and made French interesting just on inclusion.

I feel bad for canadians learning french. It's a language that's only useful in like, 1.5 places in the world.

I genuinely believe french canadians are hurting their next generation by filling their heads with nonsense of a dying culture. Kind of like how racists fill their kids' heads with garbage because they're afraid of becoming irrelevant.

We should all bow to the American overlords indeed. Coca cola and burgers are the peek of humanity

Wow... do french canadians really believe that learning french is a way to fight back against America?

Just... wow. I knew they were delusional an insecure, but this really puts things into perspective for me.

Glad we could have this conversation.

French Canadians, (Québécois), believe it's a way to fight other Canadians. If it works against Americans? Well that's just a bonus.
