Grammar for sale | The duty

A magnificent new French grammar is unfortunately to be given away or sold for a ridiculous price. Any reasonable offer will be accepted before it quickly and silently joins history. […] This grammar, orphan and bearer of a rich culture, has been forgotten for too long. The proper use of French, ignored by many, no longer seems to attract or, at least, interest the students of tomorrow.

Should we place progress, anglicization, anesthetized social intellectual indifference and laxity in the teaching of French in the dock? It is clear that this type of book, once very useful and popular, no longer has a future in our schools; the trend towards crazy vectors is worrying.

Quebec has sadly become a province where English, simplified writing with sound and Franglais represent the future […]. Few care! Are we prideless champions of complacency in the face of mediocrity in teaching and the collapse of Quebec linguistic rectitude? Long live the emptiness of perfection! Even France, the pure one, is becoming anglicized to its great misfortune or unconscious pleasure and is becoming out of date by no longer being in the game! Have you ever seen a French person become depressed because of this?

Ultimately, should I accept English grammar in return to captivate young people and better face the future with them?
