They banned various English terms like streaming and esports, to interpret them into French for their nation to use instead. This topic title is dumb.

Why are the French so weird about refusing to allow loanwords to become part of their language, especially English loanwords?

They know they have the worst Romance language and are super defensive about.

France is still salty about losing in the rivalry between English and French as the "international language."

And they are pretty obnoxious as tourists, even in other countries that speak romance languages. What I mean is that they'll refuse to speak anything *BUT* French.

They have a dark shadowy organization dedicated to keeping their language "pure". No, I'm not joking.

"The Acadmie Franaise is the principal French council for matters pertaining to the French language. The Acadmie was officially established in 1635 by Cardinal Richelieu, the chief minister to King Louis XIII.
The Acadmie comprises forty members, known as les immortels ("the immortals"). New members are elected by the members of the Acadmie itself. Academicians normally hold office for life, but they may resign or be dismissed for misconduct. The body has the duty of acting as an official authority on the language; it is tasked with publishing an official dictionary of the language."

Purity of their language as to not allow misinterpretations. This is why most major wars end with treaties written in French.

Terrible comment, but expected from someone on here. Now I kind of remember why I walked on this place for a month or so. Time to take another break because the posters on this site never change and will always be hateful.
