Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 2852604, member: 780"] Yeah, I would suspect that. Now, I don't know about the Canucks. They might be less sensitive. To Americans, the French are hard to understand. They were accurately described to me as "Italians in a bad mood". The devotion of almost the entire population to fine, even exquisite, food is just the start. They love the French language and are very particular about how it is used. There are regional differences in pronunciation, but even these aren't lazy attempts at the language that we Americans might countenance with English. [/QUOTE]
