French is the third largest language on the internet. How many people d= o you think would bother to learn French if every region had their own, mut= ually incompatible dialects?

To quote a rather famous saying, "Divided we fall, united we stand= ". I view LoCCan3, and any other split, as the worst possible thing th= at could happen to us as a whole.
