I've added that note. I've also added a good banner to the bottom of my post at the IoCT and a link to some audio of the Multicultural London English...I can't seem to embed audio with WP though? Any thoughts? See...you should have recorded your interview, I'm sure all Quebeckers would like to hear it! Hi Chris,

John Florance is a really nice guy, the chat was very relaxed. We stuck mostly to the influence of technology on written language - particularly txting as the most well known to a general audience - and then touched a little bit on the language situation in Quebec, which is where I slipped in my little 'French is too rigid' rant :) Jess’ report on the event

Then I read that the French also take out vowels - bcp (beaucoup!). That was interesting. The topic certainly is wide-reaching - what did John Florance say?
