Huh, I knew that the RCMP was the result of a merger, but I didn't realize that they did not have to change the name for the French version - although it makes sense.

"Military Police" is a really weird term in English since it refers both to "police who are also military", and "police who police the military". I think that's why most English-speakers have adopted gendarmerie as the proper term for those forces - just to avoid confusion. It's doubly confusing given that the term gendarmerie encompasses so many different types of groups.

Anyway thanks for the help. Also I hope that you had good reasons to be up all night, and outside. Take care of yourself up there - working again after an all-nighter is something I'm glad I can now avoid.
