    That's fine, if it saves them from terrible US/UK rap, boybands or Geri Halliwell...

    Re: The french are banning words again!

    I was reading an article that was saying that Indian English will become the most dominant version of English because of the number of people who speak it. English has already bifurcated into many subsets. The greatest asset of English language is the fact that it is so adaptable. It takes far longer to say the French words too. English will last far longer than Le Fracais and it will mean children will no longer have to read about effing La Rochelle every week.

    As for the welsh, well you can only laugh.
