English instructions ruined, must use French instructions! “Le grille!?” What the hell is that!?
This reminded me of a dumb joke which used to circulate around our high-school:
John goes to the corner store to grab a pack of cigarettes. Cashier places a pack on the counter, John takes a quick glance and notices “Smoking may cause impotence” on the pack, then says: “Y’know what… do you have any which just cause cancer?”
I have seen that IRL. People certainly chose the warning they preferred
The ink they used has also been found, by the state of California, to cause cancer when smoked.
Oui oui hon hon
Le grill? What the hell is that?!
Why do people think a language that sounds like 2012 rage comics is romantic?
The romantic languages are named after Rome, not romance
Indirectly, romance comes from Rome as well
This makes me angry and I’m not sure why
Love stories were a very popular genre in the Roman empire. So a book written in a romance language was probably a love story and the term became associated with love instead of Romans.
Be honest right now, are you Philomena Cunk?
A Latin adverb Romanice, a derivative of Romanus, emerges with the meaning “in the vernacular,” alluding to the languages that had developed out of Gallo-Romance, namely Old French and Old Occitan. What is spoken Romanice, or “in the vernacular,” is decidedly not Latin, which is what was spoken in the church and in most formal writing.
In Old French, the Latin Romanice is adapted as romans or romanz. The new word is a noun, and it refers not only to Old French itself but also to works composed in it. It’s the Middle Ages now, and the romans/romanz composed are often narratives written in verse and chronicling—what else?— the affections and adventures of gallant and honorable knights. Romans/romanz takes on a meaning referring specifically to metrical treatments of the love and times of the chivalrous, and the fate of the Modern English word romance is sealed: its close association with tales of love join it forever to love stories, both true and merely dreamt of.
My pasta is so romantic.
Oui oui.
