 A notable difference in grammar which received considerable attention in France during the 1990s is the feminine form of many professions, which traditionally did not have a feminine form.In Quebec, one writes nearly universally "une chercheuse" or "une chercheure" "a researcher", whereas in France, "un chercheur" and, more recently, "un chercheur" and "une chercheuse" are used.Feminine forms in "eure as in "ingénieure are still strongly criticized in France by institutions like the Académie française, but are commonly used in Canada and are not uncommon in Switzerland.
