France bans English gaming tech jargon in push to preserve language purity

Btw, some RU parliamentarians offered to forbid the study of foreign languages of "unfriendly" countries.

PS And if nothing changes, I predict they will offer to ban foreign words from "unfriendly" languages and to prosecute for...

 

Personally, I applaud the French for any effort to preserve their language and culture. And, whenever I have come across an article from some outraged Brit bemoaning how I, and my fellow Colonials, have corrupted English all to hell and back six times over, I generally agree that, yes, we have. I simply cannot disagree.

So, if a true French citizen, residing in the heart of Paris, is deep into a round of Unreal Tournament 2004, is the in-game announcer yelling, "Flack-Monkey!", "Wicked Sick!", and, of course, "Headshot!" in French? What does that sound like?

 

France, it's Poland that wants to worry about its language. I have three Polish friends at work and non of their kids speak Polish. As a Brit that can get by in Polish, I find it shocking.
