Decided to not drop a bomb into french class and ask about "iel" .
@Camerondotca good call
@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 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
@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.
