I just saw an advert by Manchester City Council:

Drug and Alcohol Action Team

We are seeking to recruit an experienced and highly motivated Joint Commissioning Manager...


This is a roll I feel I could be happy in

Merciful heavens, you would think no one here had ever studied French, even in high school. Québecois is a masculine noun or adjective and is pronounced kay-bec-wah. The feminine is Québecoise and is pronounced kay-bec-wazz. You don't remember Charles deGaulle starting out his speeches, "François et Françoises ..."?

Calme-toi, byb - some of us had inserted a superogatory cedilla, that's all. Ce n'est pas le fin du monde.

And I'd simply assumed that the cedilla had been omitted.
