Yeah, despite all the good stuff in France, they could really stand to pull the sticks out of their butts now and then.
They're the same way with French language...there's an official definition of all words, over which there is much annual haggling and arguing, and as far as they're concerned if a word isn't on the list, it doesn't exist. It took the Academy (l'Academie Francaise) something like 3 years to decide to call these machines we all type on "ordinateurs" instead of "computers" (said with a French accent)! :)
