    Can we quit Canada and just join Quebec? I’ll learn real French not just the franglish we use here.

      Quebec french is not real french but its own bastardization of the language. Kinda like English is the bastardization of all the prior languages that lead up to it.

        This is wrong and insulting. Si t’es un québecois (ou francophone), sors-toi ce mythe prescriptiviste de la tête.

        Are you going to say that the Swiss dont speak “real” German? Brazilian Portuguese is a bastardized Portuguese? All the different variations of Spanish are not all Spanish?

        AFAIK there is no linguistic process called bastardization. French in Québec, or in Canada, is French.
