I have blogged about languages before and I have always been surprised by the way some people pick up a language so easily and how some people choose not to.
But a whole nation protesting against a language? Now doesn't that sound weird? Yea am talking about the French! The way they insist that companies who want to do business in France should not impose their culture (meaning - learn French or nothing) sounds so kiddish. I mean, when they insist on something of that sort, are they not imposing French on others? Does it not amount to the same thing?
Everyone knows that English is preferred by a lot of countries as the common medium of communication. By turning they back on the masses, I wonder if they are not shutting the doors on a lot of business opportunities. Their unemployment rates are nothing to be proud of as such.
Read this to know what I am talking about.

They say that English has started influencing French residents, so shouldn't they start at home first? Crazy they are.
On a different note - type "French Victories" and do "I'm feeling lucky" on google ;)
@rajesh - yup! I totally agree! Tried the Google thing. Hilarious :D
