Model Your Users: Algorithms Behind the Minuum Keyboard

I find the exact opposite problem on my old WinPhone - since I'm Canadian, I automatically must need the language-switcher button on my keyboard so that I can switch to french. And unlike the letter-keys, there is no autocorrect for this status-toggle. So I accidentally hit the "ENU/FRC" toggle when I meant to hit N and suddenly the autocorrect is turning my words into French.

I haven't written or typed a word of French since high-school.

Would selecting US-English as your language preference fix this?

But then we'd be spelling things like colour incorrectly!

"I automatically must need the language-switcher button on my keyboard so that I can switch to french. [...] I haven't written or typed a word of French since high-school"

So, which is it? Should I read "must need" as "Microsoft assumes I need two layouts?" Isn't is possible to disable the French keyboard on the phone?
