@LiseL I'm tired.. and I did a quick check and l'academie are still being dicks about it.

@Camerondotca I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for something to change.

@LiseL well the OQLF is pretty chill about it. The French government, on the other hand...

@LiseL basically the French are all "OMG OMG LES WOKES". and the OQLF are like "look, we don't give a shit, as long as it's not english". A rare time that the OQLF are helpful.

@Camerondotca 😂 That's an excellent summary, I must say, although as a Franco-Ontarian, I do have a lot of sympathy for efforts to keep the language alive.

@LiseL I’m totally for 101. And the way you make a language survive is more OQLF approach. The French are just… I have no idea what’s wrong with them.

@Camerondotca An analysis of "la peur des wokes" there, or elsewhere else for that matter, is probably above my pay grade. Frustrating as all get out.

@LiseL Ira a standard demonization of an enemy political move
