It started as a simple observation, over on Navire dot net, about the fashionable and unnecessary use of English by French bloggers, but then it descended in the appended commentary into a discussion of how "orthographe, SMS, anglicismes, créole, sont des symptômes d'une dégradation de la langue, j'y vois donc une certaine parenté." A bit harsh: creoles are a symptom of the degradation of language. And by language one means Parisian French, no doubt.
