Actually, the "Made in..." has always been in English, at least as far back 
as I remember--even in 1960s Poland, products were labelled "Made in 
Poland", not "Wyprodukowane w Polsce". 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.

Cheers,
Nathan
