I lie awake most nights thinking "How can I bridge the two solitudes?"
For many years I didn't have answer. Then I realized I was asking the wrong question. The right question was...
"What's the deal with Quebecers calling their cars 'mon char'?"
Is 'char' derived from Chariot? am I even spelling it right? |

| I recommend going to your local La Bell Province, ordering a mighty poutine, sit down and eat while you ponder the wonders of Quebec. |

I don't get poutine. The gravy makes the fries go all soggy.
But Casse-croûte fries on their own are generally good. Especially when they have big salt crystals visible on them. But I hate how they come in those little boxes because there's no way to have any vinegar or ketchup left once you finish eating the top half. |

| Indeed, "char" is a mix between car (in english) and chariot. |

| No wonder you can't figure out words like 'char' when you don't even understand poutine. Once you appreciate poutine, everything will make sense. That - or the consequent heart attacks with numb the part of your brain that wonders these things. :nervous: |
