the impression I get is that they're pretending not to understand, but they do, they just don't give a flying fuck what other people think of them because everyone keeps buying their cheese, wine, and fashion so they're busy counting money, getting laid, and smoking like chimneys lol

[–] grranibal@lemmy.zip 36 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Can confirm, their cheese if fucking awesome

Then, Mac, maybe we can get some Mac & cheese

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 7 points 4 days ago

Even their cheese is busy getting laid, I see

[–] Cheesus@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They don’t care to understand.

A shame, they seemed an honest man.

Don't forget their baguette and croissant dividends.

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

Is it like NYC bagels where there's a noticeable difference? I've had high end bagels in Pennsylvania and Virginia where they use the same recipe and technique and they're legit not quite as good

Being a filthy American I've never tried a bread product made in France. Anyone tried both French and non-French (but made in the same style) baguettes/croissants who can speak for the difference?

Historically they think, or at least seem to think, learning English is beneath them. In fact doing anything not French is beneath them. Then they act like wankers and that's why everyone hates them.

English is the dominate language and the Chinese even accepted it before the French. At this point the youth have sort of given up and end up consuming a lot of media and internet in English so it's way better. Also the lingua franca of Europe is English so they got to learn it just to speak to everyone else, but they don't really and as such have probably the worst english is western Europe and even most of Europe in general.

[–] mabeledo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (2 children)

While I get your point, it’s hard to argue that English is the lingua Franca in Europe, since there are more native French speakers than English.

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_number_of_speakers_in_Europe

This list estimates native French and English speakers are approximately the same amount as of 2024

I knew Russian was gonna be the largest but I'm surprised German was higher than French and English, and didn't know French and English were approximately neck and neck

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Lingua franca isn't about native speakers, and if anything it's about second language speakers. Mandarin has the most global native speakers, but even if we remove it from the running because it has a logographic writing system, number 2 is Spanish. Yet the global lingua franca is English.

[–] mabeledo@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago

Lingua Franca is about how many people you could communicate with across boundaries, thus native speakers play a critical role here.

“English is the global lingua Franca” is frankly debatable, given the proficiency requirements in many fields. Proof of it is that translators are still ubiquitous in places of business when it comes to negotiations.
