Indeed. We'll have to suffer with corn flakes boxes labelled in two
languages as mandated by law. But, wtf, our own 'statesmen' already
gave away much of what it used to mean to be an American. Nowadays,
its more a matter of status than principle. The really interesting
question will be whether we wind up with three languages on the
Kellogg's boxes. The Parisians will object, you know. They'll raise
the old jousting point that Arcadian is not actually French.
