Glad to see other people are catching up to what I have been saying for ages. 

To those who question the fact that French Normans (aka ancestors of the people of Quebec) played a major roll in the creation of modern English, you need to look at the  history of the English language. Mind you French itself is merely "bad" Latin, a regional dialect of Latin , much like Spanish, Italian, Portuguese etc.  English itself has more Latin based words than Germanic even though it is classified as a Germanic language.

I used to laugh at Quebecers who use to say they were distinct from the English. In the middle ages you were the English.
