It's New Hampshire, for crying out loud. <g> Of course Canadian is problematic, Canada is an artificial construct wrought from the British Empire, the best and most recent model for imperialist expansionism fo white rule. Canada was torn from the First Nations, the majority of early French settlers were evicted and so now we have Quebec as well as Canada as well as being a part of Canada. I submit Canada is so problematic that it was beyond the ability of the UNH language folks to quantify. <g> --Bob Whitmire Certified Neanderthal On Wed, Jul 29, 2015 at 5:12 PM, John Hudson <OM4T@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hey ...................... did you notice that "Canadian" is not problematic ! -- _________________________________________________________________ Options: http://lists.thomasclausen.net/mailman/listinfo/olympus Archives: http://lists.thomasclausen.net/mailman/private/olympus/ Themed Olympus Photo Exhibition: http://www.tope.nl/ |
