Hold the Ham on These Elastic Loaves
Written by Andrew on July 29th, 2006Something about the recent order in Iran, working to eliminate foreign (specifically, English) words that have entered into Farsi discourse in the last few years, just seems French. Not a particularly creative way to stick it to the man.
I generally approve of linguistic purity efforts. I am reminded of Tolkien, who disliked Shakespeare for his adoption of so much of that vile Gallic tongue. On the other hand, I imagine Mssr Ahmadinejad is actually up to very little good with this.
