They need to chillax. Can you imagine a party political broadcast by the Labour party, Gordon Brown wanders on...
DON'T ****ING SAY ADIEU, SAY ****ING FAREWELL, FOR **** SAKE. WHY USE THE FRENCH WORD WHEN THERE IS AN ENGLISH WORD? FOR **** SAKE!
YESTERDAY I WENT TO ALTON TOWERS AND MY WIFE WENT TO THE GIFT SHOP TO BUY A 'SOUVENIR', I PUNCHED HER IN THE EARS! NEXT TIME SHE WILL SAY KEEPSAKE OR I'LL THROW HER INTO THE PATH OF A MOVING CAR!

There's nothing wrong with trying to preserve your cultural roots really. After all, how is this different from the Welsh trying to ensure that their langauge and culture survive another generation?

This is bunny and friends. He is fed up waiting for everyone to help him out, and decided to help himself instead!
Yes, but that makes them look ridiculous too.
They just keep the word and torture the spelling to make it look Welsh.
Ambwilans?
"Free speech includes not only the inoffensive but the irritating, the contentious, the eccentric, the heretical, the unwelcome and the provocative provided it does not tend to provoke violence. Freedom only to speak inoffensively is not worth having."
^I'm told by a Welsh mate of mine that they have few or none original Welsh swear words as much of the language in its current form was reconstructed from Welsh vernacular translations of the bible. This could be an urban myth, I don't know.
Anyway, the whole point of a language is that it changes and adapts over time. The French secretly know that everyone else thinks they're a bunch of collaborating, soap-dodgers and that speaking their language anywhere but in la belle France makes you sound like a pimp...
We could also learn to eat garlic and onions and how to surrender properly. If you want to learn how to run away from stuff however, you have to go to Italy.
you missed "couriel" for e-mail
Thing is, the french people ignore this stuff anyway - our (good) french friends find it just as funny as us!

oh, absolutely
that and the legal requirement for radio stations to play X amount of french-language music, which usually ends up as terrible french rap, boybands, or johnny halladay
Would you please mind your french.... The ****ING french filter is there for a reason.
