At 10:28 a.m. on September 11, 2001, photojournalist Bill Biggart captured the last photograph of his life. Shortly thereafter, as the North Tower of the World Trade Center fell, he took his final breath.
Four days later, recovery teams discovered his body. Next to him lay his scorched press credentials, three damaged cameras, six rolls of film, and one compact flash card that endured — safeguarding nearly 150 images from that fateful morning.
Bill Biggart sacrificed his life to document history as it transpired. His bravery, along with the remembrance of all the courageous individuals and innocent lives lost that day, will endure eternally.

A while back, I was engaged in a linguistics debate on Twitter/X. I pointed out the odd loyalty that Canada's French have to France, when they barely speak the same language. A couple people called bullshit, and I related the story of how I had- ages ago- an acquaintance whose girlfriend was from France. We had a co-acquaintance with a guy from Quebec. The girl from France and the guy from Quebec couldn't communicate in French, as the lingos are just too different. So, they spoke to each other in English. Someone claimed they found that far-fetched. I suggested then that the person try and imagine Sterling Marlin (who speaks JUST LIKE Boomhauer) trying to converse with some guy like, oh, King Charles without an interpreter.

I once worked with guy who was Mormon. He spent the first year of his mission in Paris France. He came home for knee surgery. Once his knee healed, they sent him to Quebec to finish his mission. He said it was harder learning Quebec french than the Parisian French.

I had a girlfriend in college who was from Boston. One time I took her to meet my Grandmother who came from the North Carolina hills. I had to translate both directions…

It is quite different, and the pronunciation is even further afield. It's like this - a Russian who learned English trying to pronounce French words in English, then he throws in a few English words in the Runch language for confusion.
It's also why they call it Quebecois.... it isn't French any more then Pidgeon English is English.
What's even more fun is the admiration Quebec has for France where France views Quebec as trailer trash.
