Summary:

"Dictionnaire de nos fautes contre la langue française" by Raoul Rinfret is a linguistic guide written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a comprehensive reference aimed at correcting common French language errors, particularly those prevalent in Canadian French. It covers an extensive array of grammatical mistakes, mispronunciations, and instances where English and French words are mistakenly interchanged. At the start of the dictionary, Rinfret provides a preface outlining the purpose of the work, which compiles common errors in Canadian French alongside their corrections. The opening details the structure of the dictionary, which categorizes various faults and clarifies grammatical rules, as well as pronunciation issues. Additionally, he expresses the challenges of maintaining the integrity of the French language amidst influences from English and local dialects, emphasizing the need for proper usage as a path to mastering the language.
