French Boycott

Post by Kwonryu DragonFist »

The word "E-mail" is now forbidden in France.

The French ministry of culture has now forbidden the use of the word e-mail to appear in documents and on websites.

It has been replaced with "Courriel" which is short for "Courrier Electronique".

This banning of the word e-mail is the latest in a series of attempts to stop english words from entering the french vocabulary.

-

And there is no more "French Fries" but Freedom Fries?`

Oh well, here is something french that doesnt deserve boycott!

Arrogant French Separatists. I say we steal all their hot young women and "re-educate" them.

Not sure why people are making a big deal about them trying to protect their own language. Most non-English speaking countries do the same thing.

Yeah, but it seems like a "change of heart" due to recent incidents! :)

Just one more step toward making French a dead language.

That chick looks nice, but I wonder how she smells? My money is on "stanky."
