ITALY plans to ban the use of English words in revenge for Brexit, just like France.
Anyone who uses UK lingo in official Italian communications could face a fine of up to £90,000 under PM Giorgia Meloni’s party.
The use of terms such as “deadline” and “briefing” would be banned or a fine will be imposed.
And instead of the English word “dispenser”, Rome would order officials to use “dispensatore di liquido igienizzante per le mani”.
The English pronunciation of “bru-shetta” instead of the Italian “bru-sketta” would also be a punishable offence. English words are banned by the French every year.
Leave our lingo alone
