Yup, it has come to this. The word e-mail has been officaly replaced by 'courielle électronique' in all government papers. Do you think the word 'globalisation' will get replaced too?
You gotta give it to those French, they never give up!

Yeah, I read that a few days ago on CNN.com.
Seems the French will be using Courriel instead of e-mail from now on.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The French don't use the word e-mail, because it is an English word. And since it is an English word, it reminds them of the USA, and they despise that.
