Unfortunately, I wouldn't know :-( I lived in Ontario where people mostly spoke English. A couple buddies of mine were from Quebec. When they spoke French they would never use an anglicism. I suspect they were making a conscious effort to not to. I did say this in my reply above that expats do tend to get very protective of the use of their native language (present company included). Similarly, when they spoke English, you wouldn't know that they were from Quebec since they spoke in an Ontarian accent and used the exact same vocab you expect a native Torontotian to use. For example, they could say to me, could you close the lights please. "Close the lights" is a very common expression in Ontario and yet I've never heard anybody using it beyond that province. Lol, I always felt jealous of them. They would just blend in with the crowd. In contrast, I have a very pronounced accent in English and don't even get me started on my French.
