I restrict myself mainly to used book stores just because I'm usually outraged by prices, and even there, I developped the "I'm gonna get the best deal" syndrom and try different places before I buy anything... unless I'm shopping for school, then I can go crazy - *if* I have a card with me.

If you all don't want me learning Quebecois because you don't want me knowing when you talk about me behind my back, that's fine. I just wanted to learn something new. You all like thinking of me as the ignorant American savage. Thought it would be nice to greet people in their native language.

It was an answer to Dennis who dared to write merde (sh*t) - if you want to greet us, go with "Salut", there's more chances to get a positive response!
