> But some in France are slow to embrace change. Members of the French Academy, the 17th-century institution that publishes an official dictionary of the French language, have been working on the same edition for the past 40 years. Lmao, no, they don't. They actually pay other people to do that work.

When you're no longer relevant, you go there to earn a fat paycheck doing nothing, and occasionally rant about how it was better before.
