Thank you so much, it was very interesting. If we look at the French we see that they are very proud of their culture and language to the extent that the French rarely make any efforts to speak in english (even with tourists). I think we have to start to speak correct farsi in everyday life (when we have the chance) and be proud of it. We can then move the extra step to start improving and adapting farsi to scientific words.Merci
