no. i really believe you. i am a little confused, why did they banned it? probably nobody used it anyway…. like the word mouse- nobody uses it but it isn`t banned.
I know I shouldn’t be there since I am french, but still.
I wanted to say that french people actually say “e-mail” –’
I say it. I’ve always said it. I didn’t even know the governement banned it. But, who cares what the governement says ? Especially about random & useless stuff like that.
PS : I don’t get the point of your site…?! You say a LOT of creepy & wrong things about a culture you obviously don’t know. Plus, I’m not sure all this crap is 100% lawful since it’s called RACIALISM. But still, I don’t care.
(I’m sorry if I made any mistake in this comment and hurted your prideful American/English heart, but I’m only 16, I’m still LEARNING. I left my e-mail adress if you wanna uselessly complain again.)
Courriel sounds gay i guess that is why they banned E-mail so they can gay it up. btw i did google it and read that it is true and once more the name is so GAY

Why do you call gay a word you don’t understand ? Courriel is a contraction of courrier, which means letter or mail, and électronique (I guess you’ll handle this one). Plus, calling everything gay may reveals a repressed state of mind.
