I have NOTHING against the french people but I dont understand why they would post on here in FRENCH. Isnt there a french board that they could use ??

I like the fact that people post in French. While I don't speak French (although I'm studying it), it is part of the charm of Montreal. Many of the wonderful SPs I've met in Montreal are French ladies who only speak French. I don't consider this board an English review board but a Montreal review board. The blend of French and English is the essence of Montreal.
My French is terrible but if there's a French post I need translated, someone will always gladly do it if I ask politely.
This is a board that is open to everyone, French or English. If there is something you don't understand and would like to have a translation, you could always ask and I'm sure that someone will post one for you.
The only thing I object to is when someone posts a question in English looking for information and someone posts an answer in French. It serves no purpose to reply in French when the original poster, in many cases from outside Quebec, does not understand the language.
Other than that, Montreal, and this board, is like a French kiss...a mixing of two tongues.

ZoneAlarm said:Hang on... Let me explain this for you. This is MONTREAL ESCORT REVIEW BOARD.
ok let me make this into a math equation for you.
Montreal=City
Quebec= Province
National language in Quebec= French
= alot of people might answer in french.
Quebec= Province
Canada = Country
Canada= Billingual country ( French and English)
= Learn both languages or get a dictionary.
ROFLMAO
Ben répond ZA ! (said in a thick Québécois accent

Live and learn, when in Rome .....

I don't think there is anything on the board guidelines that say "All posts must be in English." So I think you are going by wrong assumption.
Hey man, when in rome ...
I'm actually surprised (and grateful ) that the majority of posts here are in English.
That would be like going to an American board and finding all the posts in Spanish!
Technically, like Zone Alarm said, French is the official language. In spite of that, Montreal, I have found, is extremely accommodating to anglophones. I can only imagine what it must be like to be an non-anglophone and try to get around in English Canada or the US.
I like the French threads ... they help me brush up on my pathetic French skills, even when I'm lazy

J'espère que les gens vont continuer à écrire en français (I hope people will keep posting in French). I liked your equations, ZA!
Personnaly I speak quite a few languages, and I try to reply in the language of the posts to which I am responding.
Maybe we should have posted Paris' comeback in french only, we could have increased our chances to see her...
Je ne vois aucune raison pour qu'un board montréalais soit unilingue anglophone. Actually I think you would some significant members if it were... some members who like to post in either language.

just for laughts
As you know, workers within the province of Quebec should do business in french. So, SPs who are workers should ... in french. And agencies with more than 50 workers should have a french certification. LOL.
Quite interesting.
May be MERB bilingual issues is not so bad versus an English client trying to talk to an English SP in french.
"je voudrais ta faire amour avec toi en chien, I mean doggy style" LOL
Well, I was remembering some events when I saw an English SP last summer. LOL.

This is, from my understanding, a Canadian board and French (I prefer to say, Quebecois) being an official language in Canada, why not?
I am not, I should explain, Canadian.
The majority of women you meet in Quebec, by the way, are not French. They are Canadian, specifically, Quebecoises.
Talk to them about things going on in Paris and they typically don't know what you are talking about. And why should they?

Nope, I'm not Québécois but Francophone
It is, for the record, the second largest Francophone city in the world. There are more Francophones who live in Montréal than live in Lyon or Marseille.
As to what the language is called, moi, je n'en sais rien. Its definitely not French as spoken in la France métropolitaine.
All I can say is that I would not be visiting Montréal as often as I do if it weren't Francophone.My_dingaling said:

Psst!! How do you call the French spoken in Marseilles or Lyon? It's not the same that's spoken in Paris! How about the French in Gaspésie or New Bruswick? Or in Lebanon?
TssTss... Tu as eu ta réponse mon cher, maintenant, cesse de détruire ta crédibilité et oublie tout ça les idées d'anglos roi et maitre au Québec.
Excuse me but I must add a little something here: québécois is a variety of French, as Acadian is, and as Marseillais is. Even the french spoken in Paris is a variety with it's own particularities. For example we use "fin de semaine" to refer to the two days at the end of the week. In Paris you would never hear that, they use "week end", prounounced "à la française" (it's even in the dictionnary). Who can say wich is more French?My_dingaling said:
You could not refer to québécois as French Canadian, because it doesn't reflect the fact that there is other varieties of french in Canada: acadian, french-manitoban, french-ontarian, wich are as french as the rest...And to give my two cents about the subject of the thead, Merb is what it's members wants it to be. French, English or Portugese, does it really matters? Use BabelFish!!!

xoxox
PS: My mother tongue is french, so forgive me if I'm not clear enough...
Monsieur...
Je suis francophone aussi et je suis certainment pas pour les idées d'anglos roi et maitre au Québec.
A vrai dire, je suis pas canadien.
Tu dois avoir cette discussion avec le Monsieur qui a commencé cette discussion, pas avec moi.
La langue française au Québec a evoluée d'une maniere totalement différent qu'en France, c'est tout.
C'est vrai que la langue française comme elle est parlée a Marseilles ou bien a Lyon n'est pas exactement comme a Paris... mais la France a la tendance a la centralisation.
Tout commence a Paris: la culture, la politique, etc.. Alors, la langue disons "standard" de la France, c'est la langue française comme elle est parlée a Paris.
Quand il y a une greve du metro a Paris, il y a des emissions a la radio en province qui plongent dans tous les details de la greve parisienne. Mais a quoi a sert si on est a Strasbourg ou bien a Lille ou bien a Rennes? Je trouve ça bizarre.
Les Québecois, par contre, sont independant et a part. Il y a l'optimisme du nouveau monde a Québec. En France il n'y a que la malaise pour l'instant.
(Excuse-moi mais j'arrive pas a taper tous les accents necessaires).
