You guys do know how the founding fathers of Canada picked the name right? They pulled letters out of a scrabble bag, and read them out loud, and they were recorded by a secretary

Canadian beer blows (i don't know where Canadians got the idea that their beer was good). I'll take just about any American micro over a Canadian Import.

Here's my potshot attempt at French. Let me know if it is any good. I haven't taken French in years. Le Fran�ais est une langue tr�s belle seulement si on sait la prononcer correctement. Est alors est non seulement visuellement beau; mais satisfaisant aux oreilles.

Blah.
I'm more versed in Latin and German. Both are needed for higher level degrees in philosophy. With time; I could get better. But I'm not motivated enough. Figures.

In today's world; yes, all you need is English. For academic purposes [like my doctorate] I need German, Latin.
Crazy I know. I can read any major work in English even if it was published 300 years ago in German.

Some feel that the original language give the most precise expression of thought of the author.
Such things cannot be transposed by a translator. I take it they are right.

Plus you never know if the translator wasn't reading enough into certain things. And Arshune? 2 Ps in apprendre
Why do we learn French? Easier to communicate with our slaves when we take it over! Fetch my shoes, Jacques!
