While he was speaking, French subtitles were shown. Of course, as I understand it Levesque had an accent even some French-Canadians thought was pretty thick :)

I should have qualified that for me French is French. I am at such a beginner's stage that I will be lucky if I understand anybody. But I wonder, what is "OS" in your sentence? I can't imagine you meant Operating System.
