France Is Pissing Off Japan

God they don't call kilobytes "kylobites" they say "kiloctets", gee.

How do you pronounce that and where did it come from? o.o

I believe it's a form of cultural...protectionism. They try to stop anything from the outside world getting in and "corrupting" their culture. I think it's good that they're so proud of their own heritage, but I really think the French are a little extreme about it all...

That's called xenophobia. China has been doing it on and off for the past 4 or so thousand years. See how well it worked out for them? I like that quote from MW2 about how Nationalism is a disease.
