> Well nobody is saying that any language is wrong or not
The Academie have done something quite similar. Infamously, they argued against protection of regional French languages.
And I agree that they’re not arbitrary but only because they have always been dead set against imported words. They have a conservatism that has become more and more anachronistic.
I can’t say I have an issue with them, because they’re entirely ignorable, but there’s a risk that they’re seen as pathetic and that that view reflects poorly on France.
