There are three options for Canada when setting up Vista - or going back and
trying to change your language options. These are: french, different french,
and french. Multilingual is stupid, a misnomer at best, and my winner for
euphemism of the year.
Multilingual in Canada - are you serious? What characters do we use in
English that the french don't use? What a joke.
I need to know if the other 31.5 million of us have an option for CANADIAN
ENGLISH (yes, it's different from other Englishes, including UK English) so
that spell checkers won't be trying to get me to 'realize' that I should be
able to spell 'neighbor' with a 'u' and 'realize' with an 's'.
I want to use my forward slash key '/' without getting a french 'accent
aigu' diacritical mark above a useless 'e'.
I find it very hard to believe that Microsoft would take a serious step
backwards from previous Windows versions, or have an oversight this glaring
when they're going to great lengths to ensure they have Eskimo dialects and
regional dialects of Swahili.
Again, how do I set up to use CANADIAN ENGLISH?
