windtalkerways said:It's the same with French in Quebec,
compared to the French they speak
in France. They are not the same.
The Québecois is a lot more radical regarding anglicisms. The french usually are fine with taking english words, pronouncing them in french, and then telling everyone those are french words:
weekend - le weekend
parking [bay] - le parking
camping site - le camping
The contrary is true in Quebec, where they correctly call the weekend le fin de la semaine. Also, they have a much stronger movement to cleanse their language of any anglicism.
