   No, I'm feeling just fine, promise (I used to speak Spanish and did pick up   
   a little French along the way).  I understood all of that except   
   "encroyable".   
      
   I say that phrase as that's how it was taught to me by Quebecers.

   Quite.  I was once in the employ of Leclerc Foods USA which is part of   
   Leclerc Foods out of Quebec.  I learned a few French-Canadian phrases that I   
   probably shouldn't say here.   
      
   One phrase I was fond of saying was "Je m'en fiche!" all the time to my   
   Quebecer boss and he'd laugh and laugh at my very mangled accent.   
      
   One of my former Quebecer co-workers told me that "even the French can't   
   speak French, especially in Quebec".   
      
   He sent me this link to explain to me how to swear like a Quebecer[1] (NSFW    
   but   
   really funny): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUGW0jszPzo (for those who do   
   not speak French, turn on closed captioning).

   the unique way Quebecers swear (NSFW): https://tinyurl.com/5f32mrmy   
      
   ... I don't make mistakes.  I date them.
