Fucking Fr*nch language polluting so many beautiful countries. The entirety of NATO too.
If the summit is hosted in London, why write “Londres” too? We wouldn’t write “Paris/Paříž” just because one idiotic language has a different spelling. Some are even more stupid, such as “Venezia/Benátky”. And yes, I’m bashing on my own language but we are not nearly as entitled.
And what? I hate the Fr*nch language in Fr*nce, Canada and Switzerland too. All the frog-eating sounds and useless silent letters aside, the reason I hate its place in NATO especially is because the Fr*nch have requested special treatment despite being surrender-prone traitors who whined and almost left. Unlike Canada and Switzerland, NATO does not have a Fr*nch-speaking population significant enough to warrant special treatment. They are absolutely capable of understanding “NATO” and “London” like everyone else, they only request “OTAN” and “Londres” underneath because they’re whiny bitches. You might as well give it to every official language of a NATO country, which is what I did in this graphic I made of a “fair” NATO logo where everyone gets to be equally entitled as the Fr*nch:

Do you get it now how ridiculous pushing multiple languages in the front can get? I’m all for acceptance of race and culture but huge multinational organizations should either pick one language or bear the difficulty of using all of them.
This is called “havinge le backbone” in France, you should try it.
French is an international language, and also, is the language of international jurisprudence, which more that warrants it’s use as a OTAN official language.
French has been the lingua franca of the world for years and still maintains that position in many serious environments, whereas english is more popular
They are perfectly capable of understanding “NATO” and “London”, just as Czechs are perfectly capable of understanding “Venezia”. They can use their own words but no need to shove more than 1 language in people’s faces. And yes, I accept that the “1 language” can be French in organizations in mostly-francophonic places like Geneva and Montreal.
It’s practical to have just one for internal affairs, and it corresponds to the reality of the (especially North Western) world. English is the diplomatic language now and I can’t see a justification for the trouble of maintaining another as official in an organization, even those I like more (German ❤) or speak better (Czech). Yes, the French were “entitled to be entitled” in the 19th century but not really after 1940 and 1958.
French is the international language of jurisprudence, hardly irrelevant. I quite like German myself, but that is hardly a reason to stop using French.

French and English are the two official languages of Nato

Oh sorry, I thought we were having an adult conversation without insulting countries. Sorry you hate the French. You must be full of joy.

I should say, they, unlike you, are entitled to being entitled.
In the end, their language is used, and yours is not.
They are perfectly capable of understanding “NATO” and “London”, just as Czechs are perfectly capable of understanding “Venezia”. They can use their own words but no need to shove more than 1 language in people’s faces. And yes, I accept that the “1 language” can be French in organizations in mostly-francophonic places like Geneva and Montreal.
I can keep track of more than one word perfectly fine.
Why do you only want one language?
It’s practical to have just one for internal affairs, and it corresponds to the reality of the (especially North Western) world. English is the diplomatic language now and I can’t see a justification for the trouble of maintaining another as official in an organization, even those I like more (German ❤) or speak better (Czech). Yes, the French were “entitled to be entitled” in the 19th century but not really after 1940 and 1958.
In my experience, people that don’t like how German sounds can’t understand it. Once I started learning it, I found it to be quite pleasant.
I believe this is the reason why you don’t like French, despite the fact it is a very beautiful language: you don’t speak it.
French is the international language of jurisprudence, hardly irrelevant. I quite like German myself, but that is hardly a reason to stop using French.
