That's a good question, but it's not just a matter of spelling. What I was trying to point out is that they don't seem to know that french is also a official language in Canada and that the native language of around 7 millions Canadians is french (mostly in Quebec).

The wording "unusual situation" did let me speachless.

>Ignoring the fact that many native born Canadians are not fluent in their native language (sorry, couldn't resist - and no comments about how many Americans don't speak their native language. Our language is American, not English), I wonder why they don't consider the large number of immigrants where English is a second language?
