Oh my. You must be quite eager to get something. :O

Quebec's (province in Canada) official language is French, so it's reasonable to assume it's released in French there. Also, Canada is in North America, so yeah.

Amagad, someone who actually knows o_o

There are about 10 million francophones in Canada vs 20 million anglophones (and some anglophones are bilingual FR/EN, specifically Ontario & New Brunswick). Since the beginning of our country, it's been law to have products labelled in French & English - now, in 2006, video games that are wanting to be imported must be available in French or the import is rejected. I love this new law; finally one can play a game in their language o-o It's not fun to play a game in a language that isn't your own all of the time; that's like you guys playing ALL of your games, including Zelda, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, etc., in Chinese.

Not cool lol ._.

but yeah, I got it shipped from Montreal :P since I'm currently in Ontario, and the tiny city I'm in doesn't have the French version available.

I've lived in this country for the past year, so I should at least know this much. XD;

And Chinese? All this time I thought these products were from Japan. ._.;
 
I'd love to play a Pokemon game in a language other than:

Japanese; because I mean..Pokemon is Japanese? It's not interesting.
English; yeah.
Spanish; oh how I hate you.

French Pokemon games ftw. <3

I hate people who don't know:

1. Where countries like the UK, Ireland, Spain, France, China, Russia, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, and South Africa are.
2. Don't know one of their official languages, if it's obvious.
3. And if you live in the US, I hate you if you don't know what Ontario or Quebec is. :|

There are a lot of geography-related situations where I just end up hating that person.

Someone asked last year, in year 10 "Where is the UK at on the map? I cant find it. Is it here? *points to Argentia*"

Someone else said "No, it's here. *Points to Eastern Russia*"

I finally said "You both need to die, it's right here. :| *Points to UK*"

Then, someone in that same class said later that year, "What does Canada speak? Don't they speak some Indian-language like Swahili?"

I'm surprised they even knew that Swahili was a language. Too bad it's African, not Native American.

And Pokemon is from Japan. Not China. Pokemon is not played in China, unless you import it in a different language, which would be very difficult in China.

I lol'd
But yeah, people are often ignorent when it comes to my countires' location. Being so small and all I guess it fathoms their excuses a little but still... How can you miss an ol' world map? They stare me in the face almost everyday.

Note the strikethrough. XD

Being from Vietnam, it's not common to see someone who can point it out on a map (at least in American schools, particularly the Southern ones). Most of them only think that a war was fought there and it's bleeding-heart communist...Of course, it's not always like that, but too often this is the case. :/

Haha.

Where are you from? For some reason, I think it's the UK. But I am not really certain of anything.

I guess I am kind of biased, when it comes to thinking people are stupid because they don't know where countries are. Mainly because I have a photographic memory and I can map out all of Europe, Asia, North and South America, and a large portion of Africa and Oceania. Hell, I know where Malta, Andorra, San Marino, Cyprus, Nepal, Singapore, and Monaco are off the top of my head.

Yes, I know you were commenting on that one person who said it was. I just thought I'd quote you, because I was too lazy to scroll up more.

It's funny too though, because Vietnam isn't Communist. It's Socialist. :] So when I hear people say it's communist I always have to correct them. Then they hate me. D:

Ireland. Though I think you knew that if you thought about it. Hmm
Geography isn't taught very well in schools imo

Nooo! You quoted me before I removed the "Vietnam isn't communist" part! I was thinking of another country! I hate you ;_;

Ireland? Oh yeah, I remember. XD If people don't know where Ireland is....:/

Geography isn't even taught in most American schools outside of year 4. >:
 
lol I said Chinese because people don't mind Japanese all that much; CHINESE, however, would probably be less pleasant XD

I hate when you go to Europe, specifically England, and the people are like: "Huh? You speak French? But you're Canadian."

It's a "duurrrr" moment.
 
I wonder how many people knows that a Central African Republic exists.

Indeed.

A lot of people here think Canadian is its own language.

A decent amount of people thin Canada is part of the US.

Yeah, I can imagine. They teach it here the majority of your schooling years but not much about area geography persay. More so about volcano's and such.
