Before the moment England took control of the Canada there wasn’t any protective law because there wasn’t a need to.

Protection measures appeared after that

I’ve been believing this for a very long time but I’ve seen a video made by a French Canadian that proved me wrong

As a matter of fact, when first immigrants arrived in Nova Scotia, most of the French people weren’t even speaking French, but regional dialects.

What happened is that immigrants had to spend long periods of time in big ports of France before taking the boat to the new World and this is how they learned to speak French.

But English was the language mainly used for trades, and local French speakers included a lot of English words in their daily dictionary (which were then exported to France)

Then England took control of Canada and tried to eradicate the French spoken there because they thought it was impure and perverted.

French speakers were pissed, and began to protect the language with tough anti-English rules

Wait until they heard about Caesar’s “Every man’s woman and every woman’s man”

If the TV Show The Crown is the slightest accurate, I could definitely imagine King Charles making this exact joke TBH.

RIP Mr Stevenson

Depends on Bob’s car I guess?

I mean, Bob needs food to survive long enough to buy some gasoline. Bob won’t buy Shell’s gasoline if he dies.

I would like to add that the money Bob gets to buy food returns directly into the economy, thus helping to pay Kevin the mall manager AND Floyd the country boy

You bet wrong

We write AND say “La Révolution a démarré le 14/07/1789” or “La Révolution à démarré le 14 juillet 1789”

Spoken numbered month are usually used in an administrative context, to ease the work of our contact.

Free upvotes for both of you

In what text?

In French we say “14 juillet 1789”

We don’t even say “nth day of”

What could possibly go wrong? Death by snu snu?

Look, I was among the glorious warriors who installed Firefox on his parents/grandparents PC and replaced its shortcut’s image with IE’s one (because old people hate changes and won’t accept it easily)

• Oh again! They keep changing my Google internet!
• Yes grandma, it’s Windows… (« It wasn’t Windows » says the narrator in a deep and mysterious voice) Do you want me to install Linux? It’s free and open source and…
• Keep that commie thing away from me, I like that meadow picture…
• You know you can change th…
• Don’t you dare!

Anyway. We did it. We killed IE hegemony. It’s up to the new generation to take the baton and fight against the tyranny of Google.

I have a philatelist joke, but I can’t post it yet

That kinda work though.

If I read out loud the first word, I say « me »

Who’s Klevin?

K = 273 + 5(F - 32)/9 is even worse

That keyboard was the absolute worst.

And they did 3 different versions of that shit before killing it for good.

It’s kind of cool to see them back to basics. Good keyboard, good connectivity, no touchbar BS, crazy good CPU and GPUs, crazy battery life.

Thanks for the laugh my sweet little internet hero of the day!

Oh for duck sake I hate it when it does that!

I knew for Clovis, but didn’t for Chlodowig.

Thank you dear friend from the internet
