FRENCH Minister of Economy Christine Lagarde was recently awarded the “English Doormat” prize for her perceived assault on the French language. Lagarde’s crime was her communication with subordinates in English. The prize is awarded each year to the person from the “French elite” who has shown a particular “determination to promote the domination of Anglo-American in France to the detriment of the French language”.
