In my extensive studies of the French language--and by extensive, I mean two years in middle school and half a semester in college--I have decided it is an overly complicated and ridiculous language. I mean, If I wanted to say this was my blog, I would have to say Le blog de Claire. That translates to "the blog of Claire." I mean, come on. Who talks like that??
My limited exposure suggests that they have funny words for *everything*--not just "blog" and "Claire."
ReplyDeleteWhat I find irritating about French is the stubborn insistance that they keep their language "pure." They try more than any other country to keep out English or American terms like "computer" or "e-mail."
ReplyDeleteIn French, the term for computer is l'ordinateur. It's a stupid word.
ReplyDeleteGarrett is right, french is nothing but a collection of funny words.
