Honestly, ever since that "Liberty Fries" incident I wouldn't be able to say who's worse... No offence to you yanks, but "French Fries" being renamed into "Liberty Fries" all over the country AND in the congress's cafetery was one serious blow to America's rating from the side of other countries (including your neighbors up North)... It was dumb, unprovoked and I could give a million and one other adjectives that could be used to describe it... The French at the same time are only fighting for the purity of their language, which is understandable... I wonder how you guys would feel if English words would start getting replaced by French words all over USA....
Just my 2 cents from someone living neither in France or USA, feel free to flame me back

sorry dennis but if you take a second look at english you will see it is the bastard tounge of the world and a complete jumble of other tounges including german spanish danish italian latin and french mostly german though as it is a germaic language and not latin based
so i don't realy think we yanks could realy give on hot sh*t about having other language's words incorperated into our own hell we call a limited item menu a tableu deu (piss poor spelling)
but tis just my humble opinion
