It's one of the reasons behind the "nobody wants to work!!!" thing in the USA.

Hmmm, maybe if you stopped demanding people get a mystery shot with no longitudinal studies about health effects, maybe people would want to work for you!

She only backed down when the french exchange student said "no, that's correct, you hear this is France too."

And my french teacher insisted it's used like "If one finds that ..." Just ...no ...

It was a very confusing time when I was told I was speaking french "wrong."
Some "wrong" things I do

Il pleut → ça pleut
Chasseurs → souliers
I've basically never used "nous" until I started french class. «On» exists and means the same thing so why not.

One of my buddies is from Louisiana, he's native francophone and he's the only other person in french class who was confused at what some words were called in France French.

French teacher: Comment s'appellent ces choses ? (Image of shoes)
JP and I: Les souliers
Teacher: non, ce sont des chaussures.
JP and I: (visible confusion)

Les Acadiens are ....unique. Like Québéc they have divergent dialects and pronunciation but if you know Québécois vocabulary you're 90% there.
se marier → faire chaudière ensemble
@becassine @bot @parker @CSB @marud @deprecated_ii @coolboymew @parisc @skylar

@becassine
The reason for that is that Québéc has laws protecting and preserving the French language.

I'm one of the only unvaxxed in my entire family because my parents legitimately were like "it's your choice, as long as you accept the consequences" so I didn't get the jab.

Haven't they proved that masks don't actually do that much?

@becassine
I would say Minnesota, but as a Minnesotan please stay away from here. Our government is run by idiots and we also are the George Floyd state.
We did have a strong region of French speakers until about WW2. Some really old folks speak a dialect that is similar to the Trois Rivières accent.

In the USA as far as french Canadian enclaves that's probably Maine or Vermont.

@parisc
Also Midwest America checking in, we have no blanket mask mandate and most employers are still "wear a mask if you want, idc" but mine requires a mask for employees. I should clarify: I do not mind wearing them of my own volition, I really don't like being required to wear them.
@becassine @bot @parker @CSB @marud @deprecated_ii @coolboymew @ooignignoktoo @skylar

@parisc
Some jobs have mask mandates for employees, and that's the only reason I wear them. Healthcare centres here usually have you wear them, but it's a hospital so tbh I get it.
The only reason I don't mind wearing a mask at work is because I don't have to do the retail smile™ at customers.

We're dealing with an entire generation who doesn't know how to properly socialize or interact with people and who think covering half their face is normal.

As someone who likes cooking there's a lot of bullshit they should've just left alone.
I can't make some of my grandma's recipes because the govt decided it was bad. That's really sad

@parisc
Oh yeah I can see that. Some smells are just horrifically worse than others.
I can handle a massive amount of fragrant incense but any high amount of bleach or peroxide is like "stop, no, do not like, flee!"

In my area the normies are starting to awaken. Luckily my state hasn't gone full idiot and demand proof of vaccination most places.

That's honestly really interesting and not something I thought about

You forgot that any chance whatsoever is met with sharp criticism and often resistance unless it's from the right angle.
