First time I came in Quebec, I heard my canadian buisness partner say: "C'est vrai bien de même, je suis bien aise"(I cannot write the accent)
it seemed to me I was some years before listening to gallo which is the french like dialect spoken in the eastern part of brittany. This language I learned from my O'ma and spoke with other boys back in the fifties.
As a "monsieur docteur" I would not dare and speak this gallo with well to do people in France.
France is full of Franglais, IE english words: email, shopping, best sellers; our french speaking cousins in Qc say: courriel, magasinage, meilleurs vendeurs.
Ils sauveront le français! amis acadiens aidez nous aussi!
Have you read the book of claude Duneton, "La mort du français", it is about all we are just writing about
The french speaking Homo sapiens is an endangered specy and should be protected as such!
