  1. Re:"English" on "English" Not Threatened By Webspeak · · Score: 0
    French government forbidding their employees to say "e-mail" just because it's a word that came from English is nothing but pure nazism.
    There is a word for "email" in French. It's just like in English. Electronic MAIL. So "courriel" stands for mail (COURRIer) and "electronic" (ELectronique).

    It was first use in Canada and then the French governement from France, forced people to adopt the Canadian "courriel" word.

    You can look in the wikipedia for more info (if you can read French ;)
