Has anyone been watching this? It's been quite interesting to find out how English language has been shaped etc. I didn't realise the amount of words I'd picked up from watching stuff on television, especially Neighbours.

It also made me laugh to find out the French have a language 'gestapo' \o/

The French have a ministry for language which ensures that French stays 'pure'. They insist on people not adopting English phrases and words such as Computer. It was described as the language gestapo on Blimey, made me chuckle.
