Here here!!  I would be (and on occasion have been) angry if someone
implied or said that somehow the  version of English that I speak is inferior
to that of the British.  Unfortunately there are many Quebecois (although fewer
that there used to be) who *do* feel that their version of the French 
language is inferior.
