All of this is completely ignoring the silly attempts
of L'Acad?mie
fran?aise to " frenchify" computer terminology. Do the francophone
Quebecers follow the guidelines for computer technology set down by
L'Acad?mie?
Directly? I doubt it. They would be more likely to pay attention to
the (Qu?bec) Office de la langue fran?aise, perhaps the closest analog
Qu?bec has to the AF. I don't know the extent to which the OLF pays
attention to the Acad?mie when making its own choices.
In practice, the ones I meet generally use English terms, but, since I
am not really competent to operate in French, it's fairly likely
there's a hefty dose of selection bias there.
Do Frenchmen?
Dunno. I've lived in Qu?bec but not in France. :)
