"Joyeux Noël" is probably just one of those phrases common enough to be remembered centuries from now, like "bonjour" and "Je suis Napoleon". The slight misspelling (Noëx) support that this was written by someone who had heard about the phrase but didn't know French and thus made a spelling error, just like most people have difficulties getting Latin grammar correct when using Latin quotes and phrases. Final verdict: French is the Latin of the future, ie. dead. More French theoriesWelcome to PEEL, Passing user. Enjoy it here.

Originally posted by VoVat: Well, Earth still has the Nation of French Stereotypes. I think the death of the French language made that joke all the funnier. Anyway, maybe the French words that are used are part of an evolved French language..."New French" as compared to "Old French". It happened to English in a period much shorter than a thousand years, but the roots and some words are the same. It could be like that for 31st century French.
