      a few years ago, France made it illegal to say "podcast" on television or radio - they didn't like the English loaner word and insisted on "audio à la demande"

        Are the French still dedicated to that bit? I remember when they were doing anti-Arab bullshit laws around 2010 where they were """"preserving the language."""" I would have thought they'd wear themselves out when they realize languages don't stop changing just because your stupid fucking HOA of a government says so.
