This is precisely my opinion.... we have to say louge and Louvre... Thats how language works, if you make something cool you make other people say it your way.
We should just block french people from all internet sites in the western hemisphere.

Don't judge other cultures. They have a right to live the way they want to. And i think "freedom" fries is way stupider than this.
yes, you people are superior to the french. Wave your flags and sing your patriotic tunes.
the french are stupid and every american knows it. we hate them. we're cooler cause the tv tells us so.
lets just form a mass of french hating americans so that our government remains happy with their
decisions to wage unjust wars. so that they don't feel threatened by their own citizens, and that
they believe we are happy even throughout the lies and deceit. Let's keep up with american traditions
by remaining totally oblivious to anything that matters, and bash the french for doing something
very similar to what we did, yet not quite.
shut up already.

They do and this has no direct effect on the public at large. People in France are still allowed to use the term, but not in any official government documents. In fact, according to the story posted, the largest ISP in France has no intention of dropping the use of the word email. This is really not as bad as people say.

They exercised their democratic right to disagree rather than cave to peer group pressure.
Do you admire the 'Yes Man' more than the 'free thinker'?

Wasn't talking about this particular issue, which AFAIK is only for internal government use anyway. I was talking about the iraq situ that caused all the Anti-French feeling.
And what if they call it something else anyhow? They are not asking you to use the new phrase so ignore them.
do any of you realize that the French have been doing this for a long time and will continue to do so? They don't have "computers", they have "ordinateur" (sp?).
This is in fact a great policy, as it allows them to retain their language and culture. Of course, none of you can see that because you can't put yourselves in their position.

Is this comment directed at the ban of the word e-mail or their lack of involvement in Iraq?
Edit: Nevermind, didn't see you'd already responded to that. Anyway, let me tell you why your statement is wrong.
First off, the French people did not vote on whether or not to send troops which means they didn't excersise their "democratic right to disagree". Their governement made a descision for them. Strictly speaking, regular citizens don't decide military issues. If they vietnam would not have lasted near as long as it did, which I think is obvious. There's a distinct difference between citizens excersising their democratic right and their governement deciding things for them. I think you're failing to realize.
Secondly, what the French did was not right at all. Here's a pretty decent analogy imo. A jury begins deliberations for a murder trial where the defendent is clearly guilty. 11 of the jurors are in agreement to deliver a guilty verdict. One juror refuses no matter what because the defendant is a good buisness partner of theirs. Therefore one person holds up justice because of their own agenda.
While we obviously did not have everyone but France in agreement with us this isn't an exact analogy but I belive it's fairly close. The French sold Iraq many things, including several of their reactors iirc. Therefore it's not in their best interest to lose Iraq as a customer. So, for that reason, they make it clear that they will veto any resolution reached because it would get in the way of their personal agenda. If they had simply said "we want no part of this war" and let the other nations decide for themselves I would have zero problem with that. They didn't do that though. They tried to dictate to the rest of the nato nations the actions that they would take with regards to Iraq for the simple reason that military action in Iraq wasn't in France's best interests. That is clearly and plainly wrong.
The word courriel only exists because the word e-mail exists. Whether the French like it or not, "courriel" was still influenced by "e-mail". Try as they might, their "elite" language is no longer "pure".
