Talk:Canadian French

I wonder if an editor familiar with this subject would have a look at underline#Continuous underline symbol (⎁), please? It only has two lines and the second is a supposition than needs a citation and/or a correction. Thank you. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 17:28, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

For your convenience, this is the current text of the section:

In Canadian French, it is correct orthography to underline the masculine and feminine ordinal indicators and standard keyboards are engraved accordingly:^[1] a symbol, an underlined 'letter a with ellipsis' (U+2381 ⎁ CONTINUOUS UNDERLINE SYMBOL), is available to document this use.^{[citation needed][a]}.

Comments welcome. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:13, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

I've seen "char" for "car" quoted as being an Anglicism. This is not correct. Char is an old French word for a cart. Exists also in English, albeit no longer in use, in the (French) term char-à-banc (pronounced sharrabang in English, sometimes abbreviated to sharra). In French it's literally a cart with a bench, an early expression in English for what we would now call a coach. 2A06:61C1:77D7:0:5166:DB6B:B6D5:5C32 (talk) 12:51, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
