Hmmm, quite interesting. I didn't realize their effort had been continuing for so long. However, is 'purity' merely subjective to their collective opinions? Look at the case of courriel. what they do seems to be reactionary, and not necessarily suited to anything but their own ambitions. Sanskrit in its classical form had much the same problem with vedic sanskrit. The outer edges of the Roman empire faced constant influence for the germanic languages. Both gave way to modern languages like hindi gujarati, and the 'romance' languages respectively. Side note, you do realize French (along with Spanish and Italian) is decended from Latin, right? My point exactly. It CAME from latin, so it does no good to compare it to latin. Oh, and don't forget romanian.
