Salut et bienvenue, Simon-Pierre.

I'd recognize a French accent, even in writing, even if the name gave no idee. Etes-vous Quebecois? Franco-Ontarien? Your written anglais doesn't sound at all from southern USA.

I grew up in the Outaoais region -- so long ago I don't even know any longer if that's how to spell it. But I can still figure out plus de francais que la plupart des gens pres de Toronto.

Hey, connaissez-vous le chanson, "Grandmere?"

And does anyone know how to type accented characters? How about you, Simon-Pierre?

Gee, this is just like home, now.
