One thing I observed in Montreal was how often people used the word “perfect.” I think it might have something to do with native French speakers and the translation, or perhaps it’s just regional or something that has spread and become part of the everyday vernacular. Whatever the cause, I am grateful.

If you had correct change or ordered a meal or decided on something, the response was a perky or resolute “perfect!”. It really does wonders for your self-esteem. Wow, I really made a great choice, you think. What I chose or said or did wasn’t just okay, good, or even great – it was perfect.
