TIL I’ve been dehumanizing myself since the day I was born. More seriously, the quote was taken out of context. AP thinks it’s better to say « French people » instead of « the French ».

Just came back from r/france, so far us frogs find it pretty funny actually. Ever since I read the article I was sure I would find this on r/nottheonion.

This is what I would’ve said if I was smarter and funnier. I wish I had an award to give to you. That’s the perfect response

Including after the word Pass and before the word Fries?

We can’t sanitize everything. Sometimes it really feels like there’s a push more toward “doubleplus ungood”. Not everything needs to be scrutinized and under the microscope

Book of AP Styles.
It's a Star Wars TV series about a Whills chronicler.

They prefer to be called "books of style".

Notably, because this is reddit, it's the same grammatical issue of taking something that should be an adjective and using it as the noun to define a group that we see when someone writes females.

Why did you make a one-word comment? How would someone generate meaningful conversation from that?

We need experts to tell us that you can't hook lightbulbs up to rocks and get light from them.

True, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing, right?
(To be fair, I love France and a high proportion of the French. It's just the Parisians who are the problem, as all non-Parisian French would agree).

"Hey -- cut that out, that's not professional. You can't just compare someone to 'the French', a fictional society made up as an over-the-top example of people who are dainty and cowardly, more interested in setting up beautiful boulevards than the invading armies marching down them."
'Um, sir...' *whisper whisper whisper*
"Oh ... well, shit."

The French should as a whole pretend to be more human then, if the label of being French is dehumanising.
