Maybe I should clarify something

Lots of discussion on this entry, which is good. I would just like to point out something about what my intentions were in that entry. I wanted to show how people might perceive us outside of Quebec and Canada. I remember speaking to American clients and somehow sign laws came up in conversation. When I mentioned the restrictions that are placed on English here, I could hear the sharp intake of breath. They said things like, "You aren't allowed to have signs in English?" or "There are fines?" "You are forced to give one language preference?" Now I didn't say that you couldn't have signs in English, they came up with that on their own by twisting my words. But you get the idea. International perspectives may be reasonably concerned.
