I am mad this morning. Yesterday, I sent my incrisption on Blog Explosion. They refused it telling me that it was in French. As you know, my blog is bilingual. I have written to them to tell them that I am not very happy about this. I know that they don't care at all... And that nothing will change even if I have sent them this e-mail. But I had to do it. And to write this post. After two weeks inside, with pain in my leg, I am NOT your usual funny MP. Sorry, but I had to talk about it. :(

Ce n'est pas grave...j'arrive a lire l'Anglais un petit peu!
Prends soin de toi!
A bientôt
C'est quoi la passe? C'est bilingue.
Mais c'est de la discrimination ça,
pure et simple?..Honte à eux!!!.
Merci de vos encouragements tous! :)
I used to be an "editor," not at Blog Explosion but at another similar aggragator. If there was a complaint/question over whether or not the blog met the right criteria, we researched further and sometimes changed our ruling. Perhaps this will happen for you, too. At any rate, I hope so.
And rather like marc, I enjoy coming here and reading a little french. It challenges me to see how much of it I can remember.
If Blog Explosion doesn't relent, it's their loss!
Oh, dear. You're entitled to a mood now and then. I love your blog. Feel better!
Thank you, Aravis and Jozee. I know it is hard to understand all this for an English-speaking person. French-Canadians have always been despised by the English of Canada. We had to fight for the survival of our language. And annihilation of French in North America is still a possibility. That is why I had to protest against something I see as unfair and racist...
I learned a little of this when I studied French, actually. Though taught Parisienne french, our teacher taught us about what was happening with the language in Canada. Then she took us to Quebec for a week on a language/culture immersion program. Of course a week isn't long enough, but gave a taste of the struggle, as did the history tours we took. It was interesting to note that even though my french was extremely limited, the waitresses and shopkeepers were always patient with me, smiling and encouraging me. They were a lot friendlier to those of us who made the attempt to speak your language than to those who didn't. It was a fun and educational trip, and since then I've watched the struggle between the English and French in the region. I'm sorry that you have to live with this sort of prejudice against your culture.
Aravis. It's good for my Soul to know that some English people really care. Thanks for the nice message. Like Spok said, the Universe is better when there is "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations! :)
I love your French! Je parle un petit peu! So it's fun to read and compare.
Down with prejudice and ignorance.
Up with education and diversity!
Well said, Jo! Yes, education and diversity!!!! :)
