It's actually quite inventive to be that bad at grammar/punctuation.

A bit like Les Dawson playing the piano. He was apparently quite accomplished when not messing about deliberately.

As a point of fact, the Canadian French have every right to hate the English after the English kicked the Acadians out of Canada.

Perhaps you should read up on that before you start spouting off.

Narcissistic punctuation? Is that like with emoticons?

I have read everything on the war of 1759 from cover to cover, there is nothing you can tell me about that event. Good on General James Wolfe and the British Army. Chew on that.

It's the "picking on" part that's wrong you see. One doesn't pick on people.

You've been welcomed to the forum and responded with venom. So pull your neck in and behave decently.

Really. How sad that you have that attitude... particularly as the Acadians were exiled from Canada in 1755.

You really are getting very close to crossing the line.

Shall I be pedantic and point out that the first person to sign it would likely be whoever 'had the incentive to start a petition'?

I don't think we need to tbh, I think she's shooting herself in the foot anyway.

Edit: I've just been informed that s/he has flounced yet again, so as you were peeps.

Haven't they been exiled back in?

They must have been. I know a few. Nice people. I think. Even my franco wife has trouble understanding them when they speak frog.
