quote [ “1. So, each episode of the Simpsons is dubbed into two different versions for French markets. There's a Quebec French version, and a France French version. Fans of the Quebec dub hate the European dub, and vice versa.” ]

Ah Canada...
Where you have at least 2 years of enforced French - mostly taught by teachers teaching "real" French and then, if you can remember anything besides "Isn't it cold"
Or you go to French Canada and even if your French is flawless they are rude because it's not the "right" French.
My nephew is in French immersion and that started in pre-school.
I don't speak the language much but can recognize he has a terrible accent as he was originally taught by a French Canadian.
A perfect example of linguistic drift.

Didn't RTFA, but part of me wants to just say "of course, because Quebeckers don't speak French, they speak Quebecois". That's equivalent to having a Brazilian Portuguese version, or a Colombian Spanish version. Mostly same words, totally different saying. Maybe a closer comparison would be Dutch versus German, or Cantonese vs Mandarin.

But maybe i'll just go manger le hamberger avec tout les frites and une Coke et shuter the fuck up.

It's a good comparison (gotta look up the anecdote where Kerouac tried to converse with some French writer) – the more interesting part comes deeper down where they compare the different modes of acting and portrayal of accents via Canadian and French culture.

Quebec... the one French accent I cannot understand. Haiti? Fine. Morocco? Cool. Vietnamese? No problem! Quebecoise? WTF did that guy just say??

But I do like poutine so... like... I'm conflicted. Should I just yell at them until they bring it and a Canadian beer to me?
