-------Original Message------- From: Nick Arnett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There's also the matter of French preservation of language and culture. It is a country where it can be illegal to use a foreign word in business. When computers first became widely available, phrases such as "le software" and "le hardware" came into use, but the French authorities stomped out that sort of thing ***************************************************
Interesting to note that if these policies were carried out anywhere else in the world, we probably would have one word to describe them: racism. JDG - French Exception, Maru. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
