France Bans English Business Words

go saegar

i love laetitia casta, that\'s all the french I need =)
\"laetitia - got some puerto rican in you? would you like some?\"

#159, Having a conventional life and social skills is sooooo Old Economy. :)

This meesage Board is just an example of how dumb and how most video games player have no culture.

1- Why should you care if they adopt such a law, its like your living in France.
2-You are too too much of an idiot too learn new languages.
3-Most Hard-Core Video game players I know, have no life or social skills.

#154. Yep we still maybe some words, but at least we don\'t change them. In short \"mardi gras\" is still \"mardi gras\" in US, and not \"Fat Tuesday\"

Yeah, vive le Québec libre sti. The Canada\'s politic is full of bullshit.

This sounds a lot like Quebec is doing here in Canada...you can\'t use English on signs, for example.

They tried to separate about 5 years ago, but the referendum failed 49%-51%...damnit I wish it had suceeded. They can leave and join France for all I care.

For the frogs from Quebec here: Vive le Québec libre, parce que nous avons détestent pour des grenouilles. Couchez-vous avec la France. (J\'ai regret, Je ne parle pas le francais tres bien).

#133 - \"and its very possible Frech will degrade as a language
if they dont make an effort to retain it pure.\"

You mean like english?? English is a bastard language, as someone already said.. It steals vocabulary from other languages shamelessly, but is the most international of all languages on earth.

English good? hell yes! :
- No formal/informal
- No noun genders (why I hated german/french.. WHO FRICKING CARES WHETHER THE PEN IS MALE OR FEMALE DAMMIT!!!)
- widespread, international, the official language of science and learning (recently anyways)

English bad? hell yes! :
- Spelling/grammar rules are seriously screwed up. There is no rule in the english language that does not have exceptions. English is very disorganized.
- Incredibly hard to learn (compared to, say, Chinese, Latin or Spanish) for the above reasons.
- Not very beautiful, phonetically. Arabic is a beautiful language, as is Gaelic and Sanskrit. too bad those last two are \"dead\".

English is the international language of choice, especially in the first world/industrial nations. Spanish is generally relegated to the third world (central/south america). Chinese has the most (native) speakers in the world, but is hardly spoken outside of china and the immediate vicinity.

Learning to write chinese is fricking hard...

Vantage.

French is ok, its just the people who speak it are assholes. Need proof? Take a walk through Montreal or just take a look at the fact that Quebec wants to seperate from Canada. I can\'t be certain about people from France but if they are the same as Quebec then they are ass backwards.

#120: The translation is \"Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.\" Which basically means \"fuck you, snooty bitch\". >)

#145 maybe so, but is the Polish word for \"bitch\" known the world over?
(out of curiosity what is it?)
Sorry for the spelling of Maginot, French words just suck

#143: Sure you did.

#142: I can assure you that swearing is even better in other languages. In Polish for example, the word \"bitch\" can be used in many more ways than \"fuck\", and it\'s much funnier. English swearing just isn\'t that witty.

thats three, sorry

This chick in HS was part French and would always go on about how French
people rocked, All I had to do to shut her up was say two words The Marginot
Line. Then I\'d feel her boobs :)

Isn\'t it sad how the French still think their culture matters?

I don\'t know about business language, but English is by far the greatest
swearing language on earth. (Try to find one person on the planet that
doesn\'t know what \"fuck\" means, indeed \"fuck\" may just be the best word
invented)

What is up with the french? Patrons of Jerry Lewis, originator of the MIME for god\'s sake, and now WTF? TiffanyCam is only to be refered to as Le Cam de TiffanyBootay......??

Whats worse than french people from france is french people from canada... #1 you live in the LAMEST part of canada, #2, your french... what more do you need to know?

As for languages, Im learning japanese and it rawks....

No words, french or otherwise, can describe this

As with any language, it\'s all about context. No one \"created\" English as so many people here seem to think...it evolved over time. Spellings changed, and we\'re left with \"lay\", \"Leigh\" and \"lei\". The same thing happens to all languages over time.

I love living in an English-speaking country, though, where I don\'t have to say \"The car blue\", and where things don\'t have genders. \"It\" \"They\" \"Me\", etc. are the greatest contributions to language ever made. It\'s what English speakers do...simplify things! :)

Heh, President Teddy Roosevelt tried to push for a new spelling standard...he wanted it to become standard to spell out words phonetically (that is, he wanted everyone to spell words exactly how they sounded, if you don\'t know what that means). Of course, he failed. :)

PHP is the best fucking language ever.

$result = fuck_all_you_froglovers($shack);
echo mysql_result($result,0,\"bitches\");

werd 131/132...i don\'t understand the visceral hatred some of these immigrants have for american culture (dating a 2nd-generationer myself, the \'rents SUCK). i don\'t want to generalize though, the far majority of immigrants are happy converts to the \"american way\" whatever that is, and the more the merrier i say =)

My high school Spanish teacher used to blather on about how bad a language English was, and about how all sorts of things are ass backwards in our country. I say, if you don\'t like it, get the fuck out. Think \'España\' is so great? THEN QUIT YER BITCHIN AND GO LIVE THERE.

English has worked out just fine for me, thank you very much.

Jeez, you anti-english fanatics need to relax.

Nobody said English is superior, it\'s just the FACT that it\'s the established standard for many things, including internet terminology. When some dopey Frenchies want to fight the standard for the sake of preserving their culture, it\'s just silly and counterproductive.

English superior? Oh, sure. And Daikatana\'s already on shelves.

One of the best writers in English, George Bernard Shaw, once proposed a contest to improve our bastard language. Come up with a coherent spelling system for starters, he said, offering 50 pounds to anyone who could. (The prize is still up for grabs.) Shaw\'s start: \"fish\" should be spelled...ghoti.

gh from enouGH
o from wOmen
ti from posiTIon

That\'s cause you never get bags of potatos as a snack #124 :)

...I\'ve been taking french since 6th grade (I\'m in 10th now)...and it sucks, horribly. My parents for some god damn reason wouldn\'t let me take spanish, so instead I thought I could be with my friends in french, oh good lord. But I\'ve been to Paris twice, its not that bad, this one lady saved me from ordering anchovies (sp?) once :)

-KRAZED-

You should be ashamed. You all sound like a bunch of shit-heads KKKers !!!

Native people, black people, french people, then what? Jews ??

#120: You\'re right it\'s: Go fuck yourself and the horse you came on!
