 ...asked here, 'cause I recall seeing their National Anthem here auf Englisch once.

English use of the term "French" is not, historically, flattering (from an English perspective). 2 examples that come to mind are "The French Pox" and a "French Letter" (no--not { Ç } that one).

SO--considering that neither "French"-fries nor "French" toast is a health-food or a status symbol...

will it actually tweak the beak of Jacques Chiracques to re-name those? Just a thought. RKBA! Regards, all.
