French often use .fr, Germans .de, Spanish .es, British co.uk or org.uk, Canadians .ca and on and on. Suppose they are proud of it. They are otherwise free to use .com or others. But if a page is in French (unless from Quebec) it will most likely have an .fr or .ma (Morocco) TLD. Trump failed in his election campaign. The slogan should have been "Make .us great again". ;-) -- Andreas My random thoughts and comments https://news-commentaries.blogspot.com/
