Salut,
Hi,

Il n'y a malheureusement pas de doigt dressé bien haut comme "message icon", mais il le meriterais...

Hey,
Please, read the following book:

"Honni soit qui mal y pense" or the incredible lovestory between French and English languages,
author is Misses Henriette Walter

You will learn a lot...

You will learn that from 1066 (Hastings) to Jeanne of Arc, it's about 300 years, the official language in Britannia was French...Only the peasants were speaking English !

And, in addition, if you are a little bit aware of the aviation laws and rules, please review the Chicago Convention, you will find there that English is not the only aeronautical language.

And why are we obliged to use English ? Because of the Americans ! If the greatest manufacturer were Russian, we'll have to use Russian in the skies.

Just think !
