Irony in responses to Fabien Vais' question!

[geoff-h -at- MTL -dot- FERIC -dot- CA]

 I found some of the advice given to Fabien Vais about his
 problem with two different French dialects deeply ironic.
 FYI, Fabien lives just up the road from me in Montreal, the
 "other" heart of French Canada, and is intimately familiar
 with most of the language resources that people have
 proposed. He's also fluently bilingual and a skilled
 techwhirler, so some responses are the equivalent of
 bringing coal to Newcastle.

 I'm not saying this to flame anyone, since Fabien's
 question is interesting and relevent, and the responses
 I've seen have all been well-intended and helpful, but it
 does raise an important point: when you post a question,
 make sure you provide the appropriate context, and when you
 answer, don't assume that your context matches that of the
 questioner. This is a diverse list, and by no means only
 North American. (Mea culpa... my particular blind spot is
 paper sizes, since I never remember European A4 paper.)
