Take the three most infamous and despised dictators in the modern era and interject hysterical religious fanaticism and what do you get........TEHRAN, Iran - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has ordered government and cultural bodies to use modified Persian words to replace foreign words that have crept into the language, such as "pizzas" which will now be known as "elastic loaves," state media reported Saturday.
The presidential decree, issued earlier this week, orders all governmental agencies, newspapers and publications to use words deemed more appropriate by the official language watchdog, the Farhangestan Zaban e Farsi, or Persian Academy, the Irna official news agency reported.
The academy has introduced more than 2,000 words as alternatives for some of the foreign words that have become commonly used inIran mostly from Western languages. The government is less sensitive about Arabic words, because the Quran is written in Arabic.
I got some elastic loaf for ya Ahmadinejad.
