Quebec to mandate formal 'vous' in schools for respect.

That's funny. When I learned french in school, I learned the formal vous and when I went to talk to actual people they would get caught off guard and confused by me using the plural you instead of singular. It did not serve me well in the real world.

The same was true about anglicismes. We learned not to use any anglicismes, but then if you go to Quebec it is part of the language.

How to help a skinny kid gain weight?

My parents tried to get me to gain weight my entire life. It led to a pretty bad diet by the time I was living on my own and I only ever gained weight when I ate chicken burgers from meal hall literally every day.

Don't focus on weight, just make sure he is healthy. It can lead to poor choices and insecurities down the road.
