I occasionally am heard to pipe up, to mention. Seer Siener (Rensberg of South Africa) predicted the sovereign nation of England would cease to exist, and American's would be in Egypt to see it happen.
But no one but armchair <…>-ites have predicted the end of the French nation.
Long ago I saw an advertisement for leather jackets. It advised you not speak French. Not as the Parisians did, at any rate, for you would fail. They don't trust each other to speak French, they won't hear of it from you. Just speak English, or French as-if-it-were English.
