PARIS - Goodbye "e-mail", the French government says, and hello
"courriel" — the term that linguistically sensitive France is now
using to refer to electronic mail in official documents.
The Culture Ministry has announced a ban on the use of "e-mail" in all
government ministries, documents, publications or Web sites, the
latest step to stem an incursion of English words into the French lexicon.
C'est la vie. I feel their pain.
