The same goes for books--I just took down from my shelf a random book in Danish, but on the inner cover where the copyright notice and ISBN is, it says "Printed in Denmark 1984". But Steve, it gets much worse. During my last visit to Paris, in November, I was accosted in English by a French bartender!!! And now French universities will be allowed to offer courses taught in English so as to attract foreign students. This will probably spur more controversy than the recently passed gay marriage law.
