Given the nature of that group, I hardly think its name is *really* "L'Alliance pour la protection de l'anglais". Don't you mean "Alliance for the preservation of English" or some such? Proper names shouldn't be translated... (BTW, this comment implies neither endorsement nor criticism on my part of their aims. Although I do wonder where they were when I was an anglophone living in Montreal from '79 to '83 :-) -- Why do they call it a signature file if I can't actually *sign* anything?
