RECUEIL DES EXPRESSIONS VICIEUSES ET DES ANGLICISMES LES PLUS FRÉQUENTS.

Description

This modest volume gathers the most frequent corruptions and English‑borrowed terms that have slipped into everyday French in Canada. Compiled by a member of the Société Typographique de Québec, it opens with a clear appeal to preserve the purity of the language and to alert readers to the subtle ways anglicisms reshape familiar speech.

The book proceeds alphabetically, presenting each suspect expression, a brief note on why it strays from proper French, and the correct alternative that should be taught in classrooms. Its tone is both scholarly and patriotic, urging teachers, students, and all lovers of education to use the list as a reminder in their daily practice. By exposing these habits, the author hopes to spark a small but steady reform in the way French is spoken and written across the province.
