Why do the French here think everybody should be learning French and not English?

Going from French to HE? Quite a stretch. And yes, most people would consider French to be a much more romantic and expressive language than say English.Abou-Gor wrote:Really? it sounds to me like someone sucking snot up their nose through a straw. ee yaw, ee yaw (don't forget to breathe in when pronouncing these words).vladimir wrote:Tbh, it's a lovely language, if one can get past the irregular verbs maze
French, like Latin, is an archaic language used by the elite or elite wannabes. Yes, that's including the French. I notice a lot of French people speak the modern lingua-franca - they just refuse to use it in their paperwork and would seem to prefer everyone drop English for French in their 'colonies'. It's somewhat comparable to HE, in that nobody wants him except a bunch of selfish cnuts, but he will not give in.
Grabbing onto the last vestiges of their power. Weak.

Not so sure there mate.khmerhit wrote:sorry to break it to you limey lot, but english is a FRENCH language!!!
For example the english word ''bollocks'' in latin is evidently ''colei'' and in French it's the near same ''couilles''.
So did the froggies nick alot of their language from the Italians then?

They weren’t frogs, they were Vikings. In fact, it was a Viking King supplanting a Viking. Harold’s name was Harold Godwinson. He had just defeated his brother, Tostig, allied with the King of Norway – Harald Hardrada, at Stamford Bridge in the NE of England. He then marched his soldiers the 270 or so miles back to confront William the Bastard.walkjivefly wrote: The last time the frogs scored a major win over the Brits was 1066.
One should remember that the Northern ‘English’ and ‘French’ nobility were a mix of Viking invaders & locals. It is well known that the Earls of Northumbria were of Danish & Anglo Saxon descent.
So it is hardly accurate to call 1066 a victory of the ‘French’ over the Énglish’.
‘Brits’ is also wildly inaccurate, as I’m sure you’ll agree.
