 == Article needs work == 

 This article has its plusses, but it has many problems, only two of which I can fix. 

 # The lead is terrible. A proper Wikipedia lead begins ""Article subject [verb]..."". So this should say, ""Quebec French profanity, or sacre, uses...."" The article itself should then discuss the word sacre, and any such discussion should take into account what was said above; to wit, sacre means ""swear"". Of course the literal translation should also be pointed out. This one I can fix, but since I am, at best, a beginner at French, someone should look carefully at anything I do. The other I can fix is the italicising of sacre. When a foreign word is used over and over again, it shouldn't be italicised. That's especially true where, as here, the meaning of the word is discussed. 
 # The next problem is the lack of a large part of the subject area. The lead says, ""Quebec French...uses a number of the same types of foul language as in standard French, dealing with sex and excrement (such as merde, ""shit"")."" How can this be considered even close to a complete treatment of the topic if it doesn't include the sex and excrement terms? It would be one thing if there were a broader article about French profanity, but there isn't. So if this article aims to be about a Quebec phenomenon relating to religious profanity, it needs to be tightened up and renamed ""Quebec French religious profanity"". If it aims to give the reader an explanation of ""Quebec French profanity"", it needs to give basics like how to say, ""they fucked last night"", ""fuck your mother"", ""American beer smells like piss"", ""if I don't shit soon, my asshole will explode,"" etc. 
 # A related problem follows in the next sentence: ""These are usually rather mild, and stronger profanity is expressed using words and expressions related to Catholicism and its liturgy."" Does this mean that standard French doesn't use religious swears? That needs to be clarified. 
 # Relatedly, it is not clear why this article purports to focus on Quebec profanity. If religious profanity is mostly a Quebec phenomenon with little or no expression in the rest of the francaphone world, that needs to be made much clearer. As it stands, only the Maritimes and Acadia are mentioned. If it is common among among French speakers, the whole article needs to be reframed. 
 # The first two paragraphs of the ""Use"" section belong in the section ""List of common sacre"", which should be renamed ""Common sacre"". What's more, the first sentence of the passage says, ""A very strong way to express anger or frustration is to use the words tabarnac, sacrament, and câlice."" Aside from being put a bit oddly, it singles out three words for definition. That sentence gives me the impression that using one equates to motherfucker in ""That motherfucking cop won't leave,"" and using all three is like saying, ""That motherfucking, cocksucking cunt of a waitress won't bring the check."" Great, but what do the other six words do? Are the they used the same way, but just aren't as strong? That needs to be cleared up. 
 # The third paragraph of what is now ""Use"" should be its own section called ""Other profanity"" or some such. 
 # The title ""Non-profane uses"" doesn't make sense. The uses described there strike me as profane. This might make sense with the first two paragraphs of ""Use"" 
 # The ""Sacres outside French Quebec"", as noted with a template, needs support. In addition, the reference to La Guerre, Yes Sir! is not clear. It seems to be about something in English translated from French that uses Quebec profanity. That isn't really a use of ""sacre"" outside French Quebec. It should really be mentioned as a source of further profanity, or better yet, mined for more sacres to be listed here. 
 # Finally, the there is a need for copyediting, but that should really wait until the other issues are dealt with. -  "
