Thanks John. I kind of understand their point. In the US it is getting where the Spanish text on packaging is larger and bolder than the English. Sometimes you have to check all 6 sizes of a box to find the English. And the manuals are often large than the item you purchased with all the translation. Are kids used to learn French and German in schools, now they learn Spanish and Chinese.

The Academie Française exists to protect the French language and has pressed for the protection to be embodied in a very powerful French law. But it is often not enforced, so when it is, it comes as a big surprise. The law is particularly aimed at keeping foreign words, especially English words, out of use in France. It's a losing battle, but it hasn't lost yet. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only. With best wishes. See www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Quid faciamus nisi sit?
