29. Protocol

Remember that movie? Pretty good in its day.

While it was a high-level event, the speaker did not appear to be a government official, but is a member of the business community. I doubt he was representing France, so he had the liberty to speak whatever language suited him.

Which of course does not suit Chirac one bit.

If you check out the latest edition of Wired, you'll see that the Chinese are spending major money to make their language the next international language. I for one, look forward to taking Chinese.
