Waterloo and weariness (Score 1)

Excellent points concerning the grammar, you are correct - it seems I was thinking in English. However, I hardly think that using French words - which are not international for a Canadian, even in southern Ontario - lends me or any other an "air of desperation". In south-western Ontario this may be called pretentious, but where languages mix freely it is simply another mode of expression.

I think this is off-topic, though.
