All I'm seeing there is that apparently in pockets near the Great Lakes people don't wear shoes.

Another factor would probably be that in many areas there are shelters specifically for women, because of the higher risk.

Metal Geir Skogul posted:My school was K-6, JH was 7-9, HS was 10-12. I know that some places have senior-only schools, or skip junior high and have HS be 7-12, or have a middle school that's 7/8, JH that's 9/10, and HS that's 11/12. Are there any other common combinations? Quebec is K-6, 7-11, then something called CEGEP for 2 years, then university OR For some programs CEGEP for 3-4 years total instead, and you get a degree. They're referred to elementary, and highschool. Though when I went the grades in HS were typically called Sec(ondary) 1 through 5. Some schools offer a voluntary grade 12 instead of CEGEP if you're planning on going to university out of province/country. I don't think CEGEP is mandatory though.

In Tomb Raider when you're holding a torch, it imitates fire. The new controller that comes with the Pro (and will replace the standard one in stores eventually, I assume) seems to have better battery life.

sweeperbravo posted:A similar thing happened on Hey Arnold. Gerald's voice change was worked into the actual script, but Arnold's voice actor changed 4 times with no in-show acknowledgement. To be fair, I think most of us as kids didn't notice it unless someone else pointed it out. I remember Nick making a big deal out of Hey Arnold having a voice cast of kids. They were constantly talking that up in commercials before it premiered.

In Eastern Canada there's a chain called Giant Tiger. So in French it's Tigre Geant. Everyone I know calls it "Tiger Giant" and I hate them. You know how French works you idiots you took it for at least 11 years.

Tad Naff posted:The reason we call them "pencil crayons" in Canada at least is because of bilingualism. There's a whole genre of Canadian idioms that arise from having both French and English on packaging and people not reading things in the intended way. I'm sure there's some sort of analogue in the States except with Spanish. My in laws all call Giant Tiger ‘Tiger Giant’ because the the stores have to be called Tigre Geant here.

The apostrophe bit is not true. We have McDonald's and Wendy's here, among many others. It's not uncommon for companies to drop apostrophes. Starbucks doesn't have one either. Edit: Bureau en Gros just being Staples is another one of those Quebec names people don't realize. I say Staples all the time at work when talking about office supply orders and people are always so surprised when they find out. Aphrodite has a new favorite as of 02:46 on Jan 25, 2018 |
