But the Quebecans (or whatever they are) speak more correct french than the French.
The French say Bon Weekend and Fair du Shopping, The Quebecans would only ever say Fair du Magasanage (my french spelling is dire).
Interesting that it could so easily have been that the whole of the US adopted French as its native language. The Stripe of states running down the Missisisppi all had it as their primary language.
However the US will all be speaking Spanish by the end of the decade. It's already the principle language in many southern states.
