minus-square@MacroCyclo@lemmy.calinkfedilink3•13 days agoYeah, I just felt there was a disconnect between what I learned in school and what would have been useful living in Québec. The confusion about vous always came from talking to younger kids that didn’t know that I meant just them.

It was pretty infuriating.
