Factories that build factories that build batteries used to build bots that build cars.

That aboot sums it up. (Soory if I got that wrong. Canadian is a second language)
Hi Dennis, yes now we have bots that build 4680 batteries (i.e., not cars). I think we are saying the same thing.

It is even more difficult for me since my mother tongue is Quebecois (not even French from Europe). It was not Canadian, US/UK/Aussie English. I learned to speak "English" after an intensive 6 months session when I joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1979. However, I still managed to spend 41+ years in the Canadian Government working mostly in English with our Canadian partners. :) I even completed a BSc. in computer science from the University of Victoria (UVIC) in BC in 1989 and a Master's Degree at Saint Paul University in 2020 all done in English. I am not bragging, these are just facts. I try to be as accurate as possible, but my brain was already wired when I learned English, so it will be unnatural for a long time, if not forever.

Edit (12 Nov 2021): My English speaking coworkers used to asked me if I was (or could be) dreaming in English. My answer should have been (now that I know better): Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? :cool:

Cheers!

Apologies if I offended your Canadian sensibilities. I love Canada. It would be nice if we could execute a reverse merger with you. And I didn’t mean to make light of this news piece. It’s just my nature to be irreverent.

Yeah, I've had a few Québécois friends whose English was terrible! Yours is great, tho I would have still guessed from word choice. I love accents and regional dialects ^-^
