English is a living language and is continuing to naturally
evolve. The older French-speaking people seem to be inflexible and
unwilling to learn English (or any other foreign language), while the
younger French-speaking people seem to care a lot less about the
French language (as a whole).
The trend seems to be pretty obvious.
