SB> Also, as a primarily english (because we don't capitalize on our

SB> and grammar when using French (the French Canucks definitly 'capitalize',
SB> or make money, on being French).
 
I'm a Dutch speaking citizen of a tri-lingual country and I take pride in knowing the language of the other side well enough so that when we meet in the middle a decent conversation can be had.
 
My Canadian experiences are mainly limited to BC and Alberta which is english=speaking as can be. My very first time there in Waterton AB my friends took me to a bar and said "Well, they speak french in Canada, will you do the ordering? You speak french.." .... to make a long story short, that didn;t work well.
 
Other than that when on business meetings in Montreal I could barely understand the Canuck version of french, also when I linked-up with Nick in Quebec City.
