Why is that?

Well then, I guess that makes sense.
Of course it sounds better, English is superior to french in every way.

And it would also mean the French and English call it different things, which would be confusing.

Yeah, but if not for the already stated reason, I would've thought they'd use the French spelling, seeing as the Admins are French.

The English language is widely used in every country though.

True, true. It's funny though, once someone thought Pirate Community was a forum for hackers.

Well, it was an RZ member, but it's not because of ARZO supposedly being PC based, it was just teh name that made her think that.

Really? Does she think real pirates live here and share plans too?

I doubt it.
She now knows it's a reference to the R2 pirates.

Good to hear it. Well, we have nothing to do with ARZO. It's just because they don't want to talk in RZ that they post the occasional message here.

It's also here that they boast about their "successes".

As Clemenceau said,
English is only badly pronounced French

Well, U.S. and France are exceptions. Nobody speaks English there.

Well, not proper English, you are right
But Huchman is right, I learned that when I went to France.

French remains a widespread language all over the world, and very few French people find it important to learn a foreign tongue. The situation is even worse in the US though, due to the incontestable worldwide hegemony of English nowadays.
