The other day I made fun of Washington State’s assault on the English language. I didn’t realize Canada, or more specifically, Québec, had actually declared war on it! Sadly, the Italian language got caught in the crossfire of this war of languages.

Exactly!!! Proof positive of a despicable crime!!
Now, however, zealots in the Office québécois de la langue française (Quebec Board of the French Language) may have gone a step too far in picking a fight with an Italian restaurant… into an anonymous complaint, Massimo Lecas received a letter from the board telling him that his establishment, Buonanotte, had broken the law by including , instead of the French word bouteille.
