Do you, once again, have sources for that? I'm only trying to highlight the weird edge cases Apple constantly makes to operate in Canada, and you're carrying their water for them. They're adults, they could have explained themselves why they don't serve that language community.
- mlyle 3y agoI think I've done pretty well providing sources and you're pretty adversarial. e.g. > you're carrying their water for them [You made a statement, and anyone who chooses to disagree with you is "carrying [Apple's] water for them". So I guess we should just STFU?] > they could have explained themselves why they don't serve that language community I think this is ridiculous. Are you aware of any company making a statement about why they don't serve a specific language community? In any case, sure, I will take the bait and further strengthen my point: Within Quebec, 1310 in the last census indicated that they are conversant in ASL. The number of people in Quebec who would prefer to speak Quebec Sign Language are dwarfed by the number of people in Quebec who would prefer to speak any one of Moriysen, Telugu, Bosnian, the Swiss dialect of German, Nepali, etc. I have not heard any statements by any firms about why they do not cater to these language communities in Quebec. There's also hundreds of people in Quebec who are native speakers of other sign languages other than LSQ or ASL. Apple does not cater to these people, either.
