One of the commentators, I'm not sure who, often says: "Y jousent" instead of ils jouent. A lot of people make that mistake and I find it hilarious.

I find it incredibly sad...

If you are to appear on TV, the very least requirement should be to be able to speak decent french.

I already heard "sontaient" :shakehead

I remember Henri Richard talking about his groin injury and he said: "J'ai une blessure à la laine." Priceless, my dad burst out laughing.

It's only a mistake if one doesn't acknowledge the widespread use of joual in the media.

Offenbach's Câline de blues is a salient example of how mainstream the term has been, for quite some time.

It's still a mistake on TV, where you try to speak the best French possible, not the best joual possible.

We're ways off from the RadCan days, where broadcasters took mandatory diction and grammar lessons, before they were allowed on air.

Joual has earned greater currency thanks to French-Canadian stand-up comedians and further to a greater democratization of mass media and the advent of social media.

Outside of certain environments, I'd venture that the majority of Québécois speak joual -- so mass media is merely reflecting what is going on within its audience. I don't think joual is "worse" or "better" -- it's just different, but it is also very real. Too many TV types are speaking it -- the floodgates have been open, the olden days are not returning.

There's a show about TV critics talking about the various shows of the week on ArtV and there was this woman there who's not a hockey specialist who said about the hockey on RDS: "the show is not bad but this guy Francois Gagnon when he talks it hurts the ears".

McGuire : ''Le reste de la période après ces messages'' or ''L'avantage numérique des Canadiens après ces messages'' right before EVERY commercial.
Always, Always, Always.

Not an excuse. This isn't Honey Booboo. We expect broadcasters to speak well.

Try telling the joual-speakers that they don't "speak well" or that they don't belong on TV. And good luck finding replacements.

It's all about what public you want to reach. I, for one, want the people on TV to speak well and have rational opinions. But I know damn right (sadly) that I'm in the minority. People love TVA and V because they speak and act like them, but it's mostly trash TV with no substance.

My trash now wants to sue you on the basis that it has more substance than these TV channels. I might be able to convince it to go for an off court settlement, but it won't be easy.

Or you can just wait until friday. Trash gets picked up on friday.

I'm not asking for a perfect International French ala Radio-Can, just a decent everyday Quebec french without such obvious errors.

No matter if you like them or not, guys like Felix Seguin, Alain Crête, Chantal Machabée or Denis Casavant speak a good Quebec everyday french and don't make any grammatical errors. You can easily see that they have studied Communications and are natural TV people. Which is how it should be.

It got worse with the huge amount of "joueurnalistes" in recent years. Guy Carbonneau, Patrice Brisebois, Patrick Lalime, Jocelyn Lemieux, Eric Bélanger etc. have just no place on TV. They can't organize their thoughts on the spot so they end up blabbering some total nonsense, and make a ton of grammatical errors. "si y seraient", "sontaient"... They teach you that crap in primary school.

It's insulting for sports fans because we are perceived as morons for that kind of stuff.

Denis Gauthier and Dave Morissette are the worst. I have absolutely no idea how Morissette can be in every damn show on TVA. He is brutal to watch.

I am with you. My French is even worse than theirs but I stopped watching TVA and RDS. It is as if everything hockey-related on those channels is tailored strictly to high elementary-school dropouts.
That and constant chez-nouis-ism is very annoying. "Quebecois A takes the puck from Quebecois B and the play is dead because Quebecois C is offside..."

And yet ...

Last December, TVA Spanre announced:

TVA Sports comptera sur Dave Morissette jusqu’en 2019. La chaîne vient de conclure une entente de six ans avec l’animateur du Match (...)

Depuis son arrivée à TVA Sports, Dave Morissette a remporté deux prix Artis dans la catégorie Animation d’émissions de sport pour Le match.

«Quand j’ai gagné mon deuxième au printemps dernier, c’était comme si les gens m’avaient dit: «T’as ta place dans le milieu.» Après le gala, pendant que mes collègues fêtaient, je mangeais des toasts au beurre de peanuts chez moi avec ma femme à 2 h du matin. Je suis vraiment choyé.»

You can take the farmer out of the farm but you can't take the farm out of him. :sarcasm:

The following comment from a random TVA user is probably reflective of the type of audience Morissette attracts and keeps bolstering his ratings:

J'aime bien Dave Morissette, il a une connection facile avec les téléspectateur en s'adressant à eux dans leur accent tous en s'exprimant dans un excellent français... du Québec. Il ne se met pas la bouche en cul de poule pour tenter tant bien que mal d'imiter l'accent des français. Et il ne truffe pas son discours de mots anglais comme le font Ardisson et compagnie.

Ce n'est pas comme la plupart des annonceurs et animateurs de Radio-Canada qui s'imaginent que pour bien parler notre beelle langue, il faut absolument imiter l'accent des Français de France.

Les cotes d'écoute parlent.

:sarcasm:
