The French sentence 'La tortue manges des pâtes' .... The turtle (or maybe tortoise) is eating some pasta? or maybe pastries? What is eating What?
By locking their language in to unresponsive straight jacket, the French end up with the ridiculous situation that as 'Pasta' is not a French word, they won't officially use the word 'Pasta', but instead have to use a 'French' equivalent which was 'Pâtes', but which can also mean pastry / pastries. So they end up with ambiguous statements like above.
