<p>As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)</p>

Ainsi, j'entends assez souvent, et tres clairement: i je ty, pour (il est ti =) est-il? ou encore, ce qui est pln- clair: tS fre.r rje tsy? = ton frere, vient-il? C'est un curieux phenomene, produit, je pense, par l'etymologie populaire." Comment in regard to Canadian usage by Professor Rivard. 1 Romania, VI, p. 442. Cf. Suchier in Grober'- Grundriss, (p. 610, 47) "Mundarten haben aus diesem til ein Fragewort gebildet, welches ein Gegenstuck zu dem antwortenden oil bildet" (or Monet's translation, p. 104, 47). 4 u to and not ai vo is the Canadian French usage, i. . before consonants and ai before vowels generally; likewise the Canadian usage is a vo ti instead of al to ti. See the Note on pp. 133, 134 for the explanation of ti, and for examples see below. The negative forms of the verb, omitting anything corresponding to Fr. ne before the verb, simply add p = Fr. pas directly after the affirmative or interrogative form, thus: z -o p--Fr. je vais pas; z ti Jjo? = Fr. je vais ti pas, i. e. ne vais-je pas. 1. z is of course popular in ordinary conversational French, influence of the second and third persons on the first. z - o seems to result from bilabial v under influence of forms like Fr. me and moi in the speakers mind for the first person.3 2. The future and conditional forms with j and likewise the infinitive form jale are likely due to the influence of the adverb Fr. y so much used with this verb. 3. z e ete used for je suis alle, z aie ete for j'etais alle, and so on thruout, is merely French analogy where these forms may be used instead of aller when return is implied.
