The beatle or the designer? Kidding! It is the song and not the album that is infamous. There is quite a difference, and since I'm not as nice as Adruinna, I will point out the grammer and diction. Sorry.

Ok point well taken but JC you have to give a Frenchmen ( or a french-canadian) some loose with Shakespeare language 'cause if Molière were the tongue we speak I guess I'll have the upper hand here

I'd be more forgiving if your English were not so good. Je parle le Francais, mais, un petit pas. Maintenant, j'ai habillent en California pour le doux mons. Touts les gens, ils parlens L'espanol tout les temps. Pour moi, c'est plus difficile a parler doux langes estrange, comprendez? You can be as unforgiving as you like with my poor french, my hat is off to to your ESL.
HOw much different is Canadian French from European? Similar to the difference between American English and British?

I say that the language is basicly the same but it's the way we use it that diffrent. For one when we use an english term we truly know the meaning of it and it's not just put in the middle of a sentence to be hot or something. The expression are totally diffrent for sure ( samething as no american will says He's my best "mate" and it was a "bloody" good game) Another thing that come to my mine is the fact that swearing is somewhat of a art form here in Québec. Our swear words are use as verb, adjective,noun ect. A bit like the way we can use the F words and all is derivate. They don't do that in France. the insult are to civil to be take seriously. It is as diffrent as a Texan from a guy from Liverpool or Dublin

The ironic thing is that if an American DOES use a word like "mate" or "bloody", he does it to look cool, or urbane or worldly; in other words, hot. (another funny point hot = cool. The "in crowd" is "far out" -- may be dating myself with that last comparison. Enlightened people think heavy thoughts.)

Bloody great puz mate! On Ya! :)

Course that brings to mind all the groovy people.. hope they get out of those grooves. In "my day" we were radical. lol

Radical has mellowed. In my great grandfathers day, the bolsheviks and proletariats were radicals trying to take over the union ala Eugene Debbs.

Wow. From the Beatles to Marxism.

No takers on the obvious Marx/Lennon gag?

"infamous"? LOL
