Haha... that's just what I was thinking. LD, your rant has a foul whif of an online translator.

I should actually use a translator to see if what I wrote is right.
It's supposed to say;

J'ai non français mais moi pourrait avoir sélectionné quelque chose voyant vers le haut comme si la prise des Français à l'école grandissant était presque obligatoire.

I'm not french but I had to have picked something up cuz in school french class was obilgatory.

Je doute beaucoup de qu'il y a un grand nombre de personnes habitant au Québec ici sur le hipbase.

I doubt very many people on the hipbase are from Quebec.

Je pense que central de Stephen's bien quand il dit est joli beaucoup d'Ontario.

I think Stephen's right; people voting for Central are mostly from Ontario.

:lol: Ha! This is what I actually said;

"NonFrench J'ai but I could have selected something seeing upwards as if the catch of the French to l'école growing were almost obligatory. I doubt much qu'il has there a great number of people living in Quebec here on the hipbase. I think that exchange of Stephen's well when he says is pretty much d'Ontario."

That's about how it sounded to me.

BTW, although there are a bunch of other mistakes, one big one is there's no appostrophe in French a la "central de Stephen's". I think you were trying to say something along the lines of "Je pense que Stephen a raison". I only took french until OAC, but that sounds a lil' better... I think.

The apostrophe was actually a big deal in the 70's in Quebec, it was the ULTIMATE "Anglacism" (Sign that you were English at heart) The language police made a big stink about "The Hudson's Bay Company" signs on stores. That's why they just use THE BAY logo nationwide today. So I'd say LB's use of the apostrohpe was him just keep'n it real, bein' true to his roots! Anglophones with poor Ontario School System French Unite! Je suis la avec toi... :lol:

Hahaha,
well I never claimed to be good with french.
I can understand about 40% of it written,
20% of it spoken
but cannot write or speak it
even if I was at gunpoint...

Petit poisson, petit poisson... glup, glup, glup. At least that seemed to be a standard essential requirement across the Ontario curriculum
