In Metropolitan France, in towns in the North of the Loire :) . Basically, that's really how French is pronounced nowadays :)) . If you take the "correct" spelling, you get: "moi, j'suis pas propre mais j'suis pas malade non plus". Identical pronunciation, but one spelling makes it look like a creole and the other like Latin :))) . Funny how the written form can change the physionomy of the language.
