Hey katlaughling, I was talking about the French French, not the Canadian French! The kind that wear berets, striped jerseys and strings of onions, and ride bikes - Johnny Foreigner personified (NOI, all you froggies!). You'll be pleased to know, I'm sure, that (and this is based on actual events): Canadians are often mistaken for Americans over here, and treated accordingly, although with due allowance for their unexpected politeness; but when they explain they're Canadian, they are welcomed most cordially, and everyone has a good laugh. (NOI, all you Yanks!)
