A banker who does a bit of charlie on the weekends? Sacre bleu! This is a vote between literal genuine fascism and the status quo, any scandal for either Le Pen or Macron is irrelevant, because it is a conflict of ideas and not people.

im not sure why it's a surprise to a lot of people that the french turned out to be terrible when they literally have a governmental bureau whose entire mission is the protection of the french language from idioms and influence from other, more barbarous languages this is literally a government organization that tells people to stop using popular idioms because they are not french enough lol

The french academy doesn't ban borrowings though. The last spelling reform included a ton of them mostly so that they fit the phonetics of the language (as spoken in Paris, lol). And there's a bunch of prescriptivists who would cream themselves if english had such a thing.
