See... Americans think we are simply a polite and apologetic people when really we are just farting in your general direction.
Oh, you must be a French Canadian then!
lol... yes I actually am. Old school too. Apprently my family line can be traced back to the first French farmer/pharmacist (well apothecary dood) in Canada and helped with the development of the first colonies.
Of course being an Ontarian my French sucks* and most Quebecois would consider me a "Squarehead" anglo.
*My accent is really good though because of my grandparents and being forced into all french (RC) schools from kindergarten up to about grade 3 (despite me not speaking the language at ALL before hand... which is likely what put me on the path toward general suckage and angst in regards to scholarly pursuits).
