I'm not sure it is so interesting. In France we like French word :), so we
have created many French words after English words and tried to keep the same
way to pronnouce it, some examples:

"bug"   -> "bogue"
"mail"  -> "m�l"
"CDROM" -> "c�d�rom"
...

The last one is certainly the most stupid in my view since we lose the
acronym!

Just my 2 cents,
Pascal.
