i don't wanna believe this all is real...

shock and awe.

am practicing new phrase: "Je suis un Canadien".

Oh yeah. irony of ironies. My US passport showed up at my parent's house on Wednesday. The day this latest mess happened.

Unfortunately, I can't go hide my head under the covers, because I have things to do today. But I want to.

I love my country, I hate my government, I hope all the troops come home safely.

That's about it. *grief*

Hmm. I stand corrected. My french is capped off at French 204, a grammar class. It was there that I was told it was only an adjective. Could it be one of those picky things where people use it as a noun but a bunch of idiot purists say it "should" only be an adjective? Like ending sentences in prepositions and that sort of thing?

I'm all for usage. If people use it regularly, it's correct enough for me. :)

well its just that a lot of adjectives are also used as nouns, even in english, just look at these sentences:
i am in love with a beautiful canadian.
canadian=noun
beautiful=adjective
i am in love with a canadian actor.
canadian=adjective

i think even language mavens have to admit that!
