The French and their language. Ok, so we know it's on the
way out, what why bother with new tech words like
email? Considering that 1/3 of English comes from the French, anyway, (thank you very much, William the Conqueror), it just doesn't make sense that they're making such a big deal about this. If anyone would know when to surrender, it's the French.
Besides, what about the French words we use all the time that we can't do without? What about
menois a trois,
répondez, s'il vous plaît, and
fillet? You don't hear anyone speaking in English crying about those.
