Toronto might win because there are fewer native Torontans, i.e. since non natives make up 75% of the population, it's more diverse than New York, since non natives make up only 60% of the population, even if the number NY's 60% is greater than the number Toronto's 75%.

Or I could be (am most likely) completely full of shit. and of course, the numbers are completely made up.

OH! Aldis Hodge speaking French! megan walker would have to approve the accent officially, but it sounded damn good to me. As in, so hot. Mrph.

Accent was good, although the cadence and intonation were a bit off. And, basically, as he spoke faster, it sounded more off. But that first sentence was very nice. Definite potential.

Although I feel I must point out that "when you speak English and French, German's not that hard" is utter bullshit.

It seems like it would be, Megan. Although I speak Spanish so it seems like I wouldn't have trouble with French or Italian. Comparatively. German has totally different rules.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"when you speak English and French, German's not that hard"

I know, WTF? It's hardly Spanish and Italian.

The romance languages completely crossover. So, as an editor, I could often help my Spanish colleague with questions and she could help with Italian and French, but my boss, who knows French, Italian, some Spanish and Russian (and even some German), still has problems with our German books.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, it's not like it was Dutch -- is it even Dutch I'm thinking of? That often looks like weirdly-spelled English?

SERIOUSLY THAT MADE NO SENSE.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Uh, yeah.
