Not being able to speak/read French does not make you illiterate. French is a relatively backwater language spoken by less than 0.01% of the world population.
I know the French get all huffy about their verbal diarrhea of a language, but cool it.
Actually, French is spoken by about half a billion people around the world, and is an official language in 29 countries. Ofcourse, the point still stands that not everyone knows it, or should know it, but to pretend like it doesn't matter is to be disingenuous.
French is the second most commonly spoken language in the world? What a load...
It's #9. When including second language speakers. Get YOUR facts right. How the hell would more people speak french over English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, or any of the other languages ahead of it...
Ok, this might be a little dorky but using WolframAlpha it states that English is spoken by 11% of the world (760 Million) and French is spoken by 1.9% of the world (128 million). Now that's not native, that includes second languages as well.
Mandarin is spoken by 16% (1 Billion) and spanish by 6.2% (417 million).
While French has been a major language in the past, IMHO it is a relic of a great history. It should be shit canned.
i dated a guy from france for a few months, and he knew a lot more italian, german, and english than he did french.
see, the french don't even like themselves.
How many ways are there to say; in French, "We all surrender most humbly"?
maybe it's my French illiteracy but everything they say reminds me of that.
btw; did ya' notice how respectfully I capitalized "French".

Si vous êtes francophone, je ne pense pas que votre remarque acerbe soit de nature à donner envie à quiconque de découvrir notre langue. Dommage.
(As a frenchspeaking person, i say to AnnBoner that his/her acerbic comment will not contribute to create any reader's desire to understand our language. What a pity!)
Rodney, when you write "feck"... You certainly mean "fuck"?
and for your information, "plait" needs a "accent circonflexe" : "plaît"
Errare humanum est...
If you don't understand it why do you even bother posting. First off Alf used to try to eat cats as he liked the taste. That's the joke.
Secondly, french is a beautiful language and if you ever learned how to speak it you might realise that. Lastly, the surrender comment about the french is erroneous. They have one of the better records for wars and battles(look it up). The wars that they did end up losing still had the help of the French and they were major factors in the winning of the wars(i.e. WW2 and the french underground resistance and even the american civil war probably wouldn't have been won without the aid of the french).
I would like to add that geographically the French were right next door to the Germans. The Americans entered the second world war at a much later date. Even the Canadians fought the Germans way before the Americans did.
The surrender commment is extremely offensive for us french people. We did not surrender a lot, but our government surrendered to the worse during the second world war. This is not something that should be made fun about.
Since then, we only surrendered in Indochina, which is now called... Vietnam.
'french is a beautiful language' is an opinion.
it's a bit narrow minded of you to get angry because others do not think the same.
personally, i think russian is pretty damn sexy.
and i'm sure the reason why everyone is bashing the french is because no one really likes them. yes, the war facts may be inaccurate, but who is a better target to pick on?
the french.
you don't want to say that about the italians because they'll find you and kill you.
nor the germans, because they'll gas you.
mainly it's stereotype, stop getting your panties in a twist.
take a joke.

I think the illiteracy is in not recognizing that the chicken company is Perdue with an e.
And FWIW, the only two languages of the United Nations Secretariat are French and English.
