this is no a proof of anything, (are you an expert of civilisations ? , not the game, hum) that's bullshit, in france we don't care about this "courriel".
I'm surprised it makes so much noise outside of france. Dear "anonymous", I don't know if the fact you post as "anonymous" is a fact of anything, but what's your problem with it ? I' don't understand.
In france, for a long time we used to teach english in a very bad way (more literal), things have changed durring last 10 years : now we give more importance to speaking/listening.
things are no perfect, that true.
I don't know how other language are learned (are other language are learned btw?) in english-spoken-countries.
there are nothing strange in your experiance, I'm happy you where laughing.
PS : about jogging rematk, remind that soccer is football in everywhere expect one country...;)
no word were invented for hotdog, hamburger... I don't know where you get such "information" , you were joked.
I'm french.
note : we are not obliged to use this strange word "courriel", it's not dictature ! people from gov. choose to use "courriel", that's their choice. Most of people'll continue to use "email"...
regards PS : please don't see "arogance" every where.

obviouly, it's not the same language ;)
don't you know ? ;)
it's not silly !
first : "Tchatche" is the way to write in french the english word "chat", as a feench word "chat" already exist, it's a cat.
second, "tchatcher" that means "speak a lot" was already existing !
what do you want more ?
every thing that is not US-identified is silly for you ?
They (french gov.) have shoosing themself one common word for an object.
tomorow, you can *force* yourself to use another word for what you want.
nobody is forced.
Please stop broadcast false things :
:youngs perfer to say "MacDo" instead of Mc Donalds, this is not official :) we pronounse it as "mac"-"doh".
I live in france, I used the word "hanburger" every time I want a hanburger at MacDo or elsewhere
