That's funny. When I learned french in school, I learned the formal vous and when I went to talk to actual people they would get caught off guard and confused by me using the plural you instead of singular. It did not serve me well in the real world.

The same was true about anglicismes. We learned not to use any anglicismes, but then if you go to Quebec it is part of the language.

At least when I was a kid (in Ontario), we aren't taught Quebecois French. We're taught Parisienne French.

So you talk mostly in English with a French accent ?

Only when people try to speak French to me, how dare they?

I used to have a 12 hour remix of this but cannot seem to find it, though I have listened to it for hours in the past
