>>>You get shot if you use any English words in Quebec, don't you? (Frere Grand regard vous) :-) In Quebec a KFC is a PFK (poulet frite Kentucky or some such) - or PKF. Sounds more like a terrorist organisation! I can't be sure but I imagine it's the only place in the world where that's so! I mean - KFC is a trade mark, recognisable in any language (especially with the Colonel's mug-shot). It's like calling Woolworth's "la valeur de la laine"! :-)

>>Oh boy I'm afraid that you crossed the line Terry. From now on you'll probably be on the black list for criticizing the Quebec system. Don't be surprised if you feel you're being followed the next time you come over here. Or for that matter anyone in your family, a friend...

>>This is no laughing matter.

>>P.S. "La valeur de la laine". What a nice idea. I'll submit it to the authorities in place. I'm sure that by submitting more and more of those it'll put me on the list of the "friends of the party". With it I'll be able to get into places not allowed to everybody.

>Careful there, Denis... you just might upset those "pur laine"!

I don't see how I could offend anyone. I am a strong defender of french. I'll defend it every occasion I get. But it seems that in some cases some seems to go crazy when defending it. Then again perhaps drastic moves are necessary to protect it effectively. But that is something for the politicians to debate. Besides that I guess that you realized that not all my postings should be taken seriously <g>
