Wow, this thread really skyrocketed in the last 24 hours...
shore9, you were actually doing ok for awhile by being under the radar and posting reasonable questions/comments... but you just shot yourself in the foot (again?!)...
I'd like to add that I'm a first generation Canadian. My parents (before they met) both worked hard to scrounge up some money to find a better life in Canada. They tried their d@mn best to learn both official languages, because they wanted to become as Canadian as they could possibly be, and this was one small step in doing so. I grew up in Ontario and learned French up to first year Unversity. I regret not learning more French back then...
ho hum.. I want to go on and ramble, but my question to you is... do you want to start from square one again (not like you've gone far from it, but better than nothing...)???

Ceux qui sont alls au Qubec et n'ont pas su pleinement "dcouvrir l'exprience qubeoise" le regrettrons dans leurs rves.
Gentlemen: isn't it great to have a language where "experience" is feminine?
(thanks everyone for the accents trick...)

Speaking of parnel,where is he?
taupo,I went to YUL and my French is very poor.However,the people of Quebec have always been very accomodating.I would go to Montrel or Quebec City 99 times out of 100 over Hogtown (or Oakville
)You would have been amongst many people I consider friends,and would have been made to feel welcome.take the chance next time.You will be pleasantly surprised.

etc.
Of course, I can also hit alt-shift and start typing in Canada-French.
Hit it again and I start typing on the AZERTY keyboard.
Hit it again and I start typing on the UK keyboard.
Hit it again and that tells me I need a life.
