    Frenchy Frenchy Frenchy

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6341795.stm

    French scientists were forced to publish their research, in English, in leading US journals.
    Erm...yeah. Thats like thinking that if "The Sun" suddenly started printing in Arabic its reader base would remain unchanged. I think more americans can read english as opposed to french.

    At my previous engagement for a global company, every site used English versions of tools except for France where everything had to be translated.

    At my current gig we have the same problem. Also a global company and we can use English documentation everywhere except France.

    I think the French need to get over themselves and learn the global language FFS.

                  Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
