And they can't type their URLs correctly, either. But they make
great Lo Mein.

Ever consider English as a second language? He probably speaks French. We
are a bilingual country you know.

Now that brings up an interesting point. I've made a number of trips to
Canada, the early ones to Bristish Columbia and Alberta. Strolling along
the grocery shelves, I was amused to find that each and every labeled item
had both English and French descriptions/writings. Clearly, thought I, the
influence of the French in Canada...even though I heard no French
spoken...truly the mark of a bilingual country.

Then I some years later happened to visit Quebec province and took a
similar stroll in the groceries there. Lo and behold - the same items
labeled in both English and French in the wesern provinces were labeled only
in French! So - what gives? A dual standard?

You got that right. I live in British Columbia and Federal law says
groceries must be bilingual. Companies are supposed to have a bilingual
employee and all government offices do. But we do have a double standard.
One language rule for Quebec and another for the rest of us. Actually Quebec
is supposed to do it too, but they won't and the Fed's don't want to upset
them in case they go on another secession kick.

If you are selling insurance, I do not care what your primary language is.
I would find out how to spell correctly for an advert. I used to do
Biomedical software, and we paid money to get accurate translations.

When I lived in Montreal in the mid-1960s I never heard a French
Quebecker that had that bad English. Maybe it's those language
laws.

Yeah, English and Chinese. The spammer is from Vancouver and is
promoting a Chinese/English commercial site.
Je pense qu'il n'est pas Français.

Come to Markham Ontario some time. Almost every plaza, store sign,
business etc. is in Chinese with no French or English - just Chinese.
Everywhere, on everything. Not politically correct to demand it. Try
shopping at the pacific Mall or or the TnT Supermarkets. LOL!! Where
are our "bilingual" laws there? - ... (just in case you're wondering I
don't care - I just find it interesting)

Signage I expect and am not the least bit surprised. It's labeling on
everyday items - like canned goods, ceral boxes, etc. - distributed nation
wide that surprised me. Now if you are saying that items that...on the one
hand in British Columbia and Alberta bear English and French labels and on
the other hand in Quebec bear only French labels...in Markham Ontario bear
only Chinese labels, then - yes - I would be surprised. So pray tell, are
there any such items and - if so - what are some specific examples?

Maybe the law only requires French when English is present, and vice-versa.

What annoys me in my area is the number of restaurants with only Chinese
menus.

good god don't answer the question....

the next thing you know, he is going to ask you to go the supermarket
and send scans of th labels to prove it to be true...

then he is going to want to know step by step how you got to the
supermarket......

Tons - just go into a TnT supermarket and you will be inundated with
Chinese-only labels. I don't have any here in MY cupboard to site for
obvious reasons.
