Oh my Goodness. Quebec has a language police.

Misspelling on a Menchie's spoon is cause for an investigation. The article is six months old so there may be an update as to the spoon's fate.
UPDATED to show that it wasn't a misspelling, but the fact that the spoon had English words. Apparently, after deliberations, they were allowed to continue using them.


Quebec language watchdog investigating yogurt spoons

MONTREAL—Quebec’s language watchdog has issued a statement insisting that it has not banned a certain type of frozen-yogurt spoon.

It has merely opened a yogurt-spoon investigation.

The Office québécois de la langue française confirms that it has opened an investigation after receiving a complaint about the plastic spoons served by the American frozen yogurt chain Menchie’s.

Someone complained that the plastic pastel-coloured spoons contained the words, “Sweet Moosic.”

So the OQLF opened a file. An inspector went to the outlet to look into the case, and an inspection report is under way. No decision has been made yet.

1. That's the problem with official language laws

...and we'd have them here if some people had their way.

We'd be eating "corn wraps" instead of "enchiladas".

2. Oh, yeah.

They've had the language police there for years.
