There are certain occurances that are less likely than being struck by falling space debris. Allow me to illustrate one of them: HorseHawk wrote: Yes, you are correct. Your well reasoned argument has convinced me completely of my error. Thank you But I suppose if all you valiant, French speaking folks really want to continue beating your heads against that particular brick wall, I can't stop you.

And not pregnant? I just want to get this straight. Did I just gain a bunch of weight for no reason? I'm not sure how this works. How did I trick the doctors? Do they know I'm not pregnant? Should I call them and explain I'm lying? Because when I go to get induced, that can't possibly be healthy if there's no baby.

Its a sort of dialect of English somewhere between British English and American English. Canadian French is also not its own language, its a dialect of the French language, much like you would find in different areas of France, or in French speaking countries other than France, like Morocco.

Shig I think NG is making fun of the fact that the OP said that Canadian was her native language when it isn't even a language and then acted like NG was the one to say it is a language - I don't think NG thinks its a language! Sometimes I wish Texans would have come out and said "we actually speak our own language here!" during Bush's presidency because then there at least would have been a reason that the rest of us couldn't figure out 75% of what he said!

When I lived in France many years ago people used to say 'vachement chouette' - 'vachement' being slang for 'very'. But 'vache' means 'cow', so in my family when we wanted (in English) to say that something was 'very good' or 'very cool', we would say 'cowly owl'! Haha! Where exactly did you live in France? Ever visited Belgium? We lived in Briancon, in the Alps, near the border with Italy (sorry, my keyboard doesn't have accents and so on - do you know where I can find these?). My mother now lives in Belgium - Bruges - so I have been there quite often, and also saw quite a bit of the country when I was horse-shopping....

I haven't seen any lies from NG, so you haven't proven a single thing. You are only rambling about her being a liar. To me, anyone is genuine, unless it is proven they provide lies. Like being an engineer and speak 4 languages. I also think RFR has another reason not to return to this board. I can post it if you want, since you seem to be her defender and spokesperson here. But I don't like to post pms without permission. Did you ask her permission to post that pm BTW?

You being a successful TRAINER. You being who you say you are.
