Why do non-French people write things in French when they

>>8958264
it started with the english (for obvious reason) and spread with anglo culture

French was the "Language" before English became super prominent.

If you were a diplomat in the 18th century you knew French or you weren't a diplomat. French was the language of romance and culture.

because america was created under the belief that european culture is the only horizon. when they created their own base culture based on the english, this same tendency continues inside this pseudoculture but cant take english itself so they take whatever is next on the map.

cause they hate themselves, so it is a subtle way their minds remind them that they are nothing, cant be anything else, and are condemned to dream to be something they wont ever be.

Why do the French use English words?

Why do the Japanese?

Cultures appropriate foreign terms when the concepts are expressed more interestingly or precisely in a foreign tongue.

Or they may simply like the language.

With regard to using French to seem cultured, specifically, France has a reputation for having a culture which is more associated with the leisure than nearly, if not absolutely, any other country.

Being "cultured" is associated with being wealthy, or well-educated (but even being well-educated is associated with wealth), and wealth is associated with leisure and many of the leisurely staples of French culture.

For example - fine cuisine, art, fashion, wine, and cinema. All of these things are the concerns of a wealthy nation, and by association, a cultured one.

Another reason for the use of French terms is it's similarity to English, which is due, at least in part, to the French occupation of England which brought many French words into the English lexicon, or caused many French words to become anglicized.

Upper classes in Britain used to use French many years ago, and the perception of it as being a high-class language/faggot-speak (delete as applicable) has persisted.

It has a certain je ne sais quoi to it :^)

So education is equated with Communism?

Hah!

Silence, swine. /Lit/ isn't the place for your ignorance.

Luckily a lot of whites are over the idea that the French and France are somehow more cultured than the rest of us ( except for some coastal americans ).

Asians on the other hand still fall for the meme.

Hell, Korean chicks even count down in French when taking pictures.
And they all wanna go there because they think they'll hear Piaf in the background and see bicyclettes or some shit in small cosey streets.
Instead they see a country on the brink of a civil war with low IQ third worlders.

You better go to South Korea then instead of bringing them to your country.
They will ask you to name shit in French and so forth. It'll be easy.

Every single one that went to your shithole of a country though, they came back disappointed and fear the worst.
Except whites of course, who think they can squeeze utopia from the worst of conditions.

Norman Conquest of England.
All the nobles spoke French and English was considered to be a base and petty language.
That's also why in English the words for animals tends to be simple and more tied to the germanic roots "cow, pig, deer" while the meat is tied to the French, "beef, pork, venison."

You can talk about various points after this that contributed to it, but really, this is the origin.

>>8958264
Because girls love french

While what you say is true it is hardly an adequate explanation because it ignores the immense prestige that French has had over non-Anglo people which is closer to what OP is asking for.
