I don't know how moot it is, but it sure looks childish and petty to me.
I
seriously doubt that very many Frenchmen really care that the five letter
acronym (email) is rooted in the English language rather than the French.
It's
shorter than the Gallic substitute for it, and therefore more convenient
even
for French users of the Internet.

Next thing we know, some brain-dead idealogue will be insisting that we
remove
"a la carte" from all of our English language menus. Hopefully, we won't
sink
to that level.

Thank you, Guy, for making me look clairvoyant.

I knew I could count on someone, Brian, which is why I wouldn't bet on it. Do I
know my American people, or what?
