My guess is they are a native speaker of some Romance language, and that is the acronym in their native language, perhaps French based on username and what little I know of French.


Ah the French. In the great words of Samuel L Jackson "English motherfucker do you speak it".


It's not only the French, would be the same for the Portuguese, for example. English is an official language of only two EU countries, if I'm not mistaken.


Cyprus and Ireland

French is official language of France, Belgium, Luxembourg and parts of Italy.

Reality of course is that English is (ironically) the Lingua Franca of the world.

(I was watching Iron Man 2 the other day, Tony Stark had a fairly lengthy scene of him speaking French which was quite nice)
