this is dumb (the article i mean :beam:) ‘courriel’ sound so fcking stupid. these laws were made by old \*\*\*\*\*es (Academie Francaise) to preserve the french language - a bunch of morons. Gawd - same things happened to CDs and DVDs here, we’re suppose to write it as ‘cédés’ and ‘dévédés’ as well as ‘cédéroms’ which is absolutely useless since CDs and DVDs are acronyms. now if someone insists we use these stupid terminologies you’ll bet our revolutionnary blood will boil up =) ! didnt know PR was french… =) pom is though… ---

I understand them, what they are doing is dumb, and very hard… but I udnerstand them and dont blame them… they want to retain their culture, and because America is so popular, or american pop is… so it spreads everywhere sometimes assimulating cultures… this is not the first time they did this… they do it all the time… not because its American, but because it dismatles the french language… Understanble… but pointless…!
