YOU have a pretty good grasp, but I, as a native-born Quebec -ker (not -cois, with the requisite accents, apparently) don't?

Do you understand how patronizing that sounds?

Perhaps I could go over to England and tell native-born folk like Sajid Javid* "what it is to be English"; after all, I got the English-sounding name, an impeccable (if not Canadian) command of the language, and dammit some of my folk are old-stock English, never mind that I wasn't born there.
