PastaGate: Buonanotte Restaurant In Quebec Targeted For Too Many Italian Words On Menu.
Buonanotte restaurant, located in French-speaking Quebec, Canada, recently came under fire for using the words "pasta" and "calamari" on its menu, reports CBC. The reason? The words aren't paired with French translations on the menu, and that's a problem for Quebec's office of French language (OQLF).

Language cops spark furor after Canadian restaurant told 'pasta' should be in French
It all started when the Office Québécois de la langue française, which enforces the province's strict rules that French be the predominant language, investigated a citizen complaint against the Italian restaurant Buonanotte in Montreal.
Owner Massimo Lecas, who's hosted such A-listers as Céline Dion, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro in his eatery, claimed that the Italian words such as "pasta," "antipasti," and "calamari"--among others--should all have a French translation on the menu.

These fuckers have been at it for years and they still won't stop. I'd so love to meet one of these language cops and tell him off - in English. (I know he'd understand me).
