Very based of the Carney government IMO. The most 'elbows up' stance would be to intentionally reject former American influences and purposefully adopt more British spellings in standard Canadian English.

Our sovereignty and cultural identity isn't under threat from the UK, it is under threat from the USA.

Bonus: we could use the phrase "speak the King's English" more often - its one step away from monocles being back in fashion.

If it makes you feel better, Colt seems to be owned by a Czech company now.

Based on the kind of person I was at 16, no thanks.

I remember this, after I was told I was learning France French I was a bit confused. Why wouldn't we be learning Quebecois?

To be fair, I was a bad student so I wasn't actually learning either...

I'm just glad both Hungary AND Finland aren't some weird cyan third thing

Do you accept crypto donations? Been mining XMR to heat my house this winter and am looking to donate the proceeds.

Spelling errors on professional documents, especially signs/posters/ads. You don't have to know everything, but you have to check before putting it up.

When I see restaurant specials boards riddled with mistakes it makes me want to not eat there.

Everyday I miss my blackberries - people say autocorrect is sogood nowadays but I have never seen it. Typing on a screen consisntely results inerrosraiwhenevrt I'm texting someone. I always slid out the keyboard on my Priv when I had something important or precise to type out.

This paragraph was typed relying solely on my autocorrect to fix any mistakes .
