When I go back to France I see burgers sold everywhere and massively more English words, both compared to 20 years ago.
French culture has very noticeably diluted in that relatively short time.
- Quarrelsome 4y agoUse of language does not necessarily result in entirely changing the culture. Take South East Asia for example where they simply have their own spin on the English language. I fear that what the Anglosphere sees in this case is what it wants to see, its own victory, where in practice the actual outcome is more complex and doesn't necessarily result (in the long term) to the expectation.
- mytailorisrich 4y agoSure, foreign words are very often adapted. But when you see for instance the cooking section of some French media renamed 'Food' that means something... or at least that the editor is an idiot.
