Cosmeau — it works the other way in Quebec, too. I lived there for 13 years and it was not uncommon to hear anglos say things like: “Will it derange you if I don’t assist at your reunion?” Meaning will it bother you if I don’t go to your meeting?”
My kids’ English to this day remains quietly salted with francicisms, and it’s been nearly 20 years since they lived there.
