Not surprised this sort of thing pops up specifically for french. France is known to not speak English in some situations even though they know English.

Whenever I try speaking French to them they stare at me in horror and immediately switch to English.

I’ve had the same experience.

It’s just as well because when native speakers reply, I can’t understand them. The words are too smeared together for me.

OTOH, when a non-native French speaker (who may not know English) speaks fluently in French, I can actually hear each word and understand them easily.

Just wait until the Quebecois government here in Canada hears about this. They are militant about avoiding english at all costs. They changed all the STOP signs in Quebec to ARRET because STOP was too english.

What's wrong with that? You want more Anglomania?
