Voltaire 5,387 Posted May 14, 2021 They’re banning ‘gender neutral’ moves to a protect the French language from American woke influence. Macron is still a corporatist globalist hack to his bones but nonetheless, he has shockingly made a variety of sane moves lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonS 3,295 Posted May 14, 2021 Makes sense since their entire language is based on male/female words. It's like our vowels: AEIOU sometimes Y. For them it would be: Male Female sometimes Tranny sometimes non-binary sometimes whatever the fock the new craze is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote France’s linguistic watchdog: it’s not 'esports', it’s ‘jeu video de competition’ The Academie's duties have become particularly challenging in recent years, as the dominance of the US tech sector has seeded English-language terms in French soil. In the past, the Academie has had to invent a number of French equivalents for words and phrases born from new technology: from “hashtag” (“mot-dièse”) to “sexting” (“textopornographie”) and even “email” (“courriel”). In a report published earlier this year, the Academie warned growing usage of English and hybrid “Franglais” terms could have disastrous effects on the French language and create new barriers to communication.
