	Phonics and other key terms defined
		When allophones occur in different environments, only one ever occurring in one environment, they are said to be in complementary distribution.
		In actual speech the number of allophones may be wider and include a [mute] as in "You take it for grannid" and a [d] as in "bread and budder." The unvoiced [t] sometimes substitutes for the voiced [d] as in "lookt" which is probably the most common pronunciation of [looked].
		When linguists are developing a phonemic description of a language or dialect they most often select the most common or widely distributed allophone of each phoneme as the typical allophone of that phoneme and use its phonetic symbol to represent the phoneme as a whole.

	Reading Multiculturalism in the United States and Canada: The Anthological vs the Cognitive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Once again, Canadian and American ideas of multiculturalism are not the same, and the American idea comprises a recapitulation and perfection of a pluralism that is foundational to American mythology and allows individuals far more latitude in the choices they make about their place in society.
		The contrast of Canadian cognitive multiculturalism and American anthological multiculturalism is apparent in readings of other important novels, including Thomas King's Medicine River (1990), which is a favourite of Canadian critics discussing contemporary issues of ethnicity, and Ellison's Invisible Man (1952), which had a particular impact on the reading practices of Fishkin.
		Thus, in the mind of one Canadian thinker, it is not the case that multiculturalism is a goal of a liberal society that is opposed to the conservatism of a monocultural or Eurocentric model.

	Multiculturalism and the political organization of HCSO
		In fact, Canadian society is characterized by a clear ethnically (and gender)-based class hierarchy and struggle, which of course is not addressed by multiculturalism, because such struggle is challenging, if not threatening, the existing social order.
		Instead of portraying Canadian society as divided among antagonistic class and gender lines, it paints a picture of society as a "community of communities" in which the most important, or the only, cleavages are cultural and/or linguistic.
		Canadian culture has indeed changed over the years, but the biggest reason for these changes is not so much the arrival of new immigrants and the existence of the policy of multiculturalism, but rather because of the economic and cultural pull of our neighbour to the south.
