Italians are quite used to feeling "lo stress", looking forward to "il weekend" or trying to look "cool".
But now an influential cultural institute has asked Italians to protect the language and reject "Anglitaliano".
The Dante Alighieri Society asked people for examples of over-used foreign words and "il weekend" emerged as the worst offender.
The society said the results showed that Italians want their language to receive more respect.
No one seems to have learnt from the strength of the English language. We'll use any old language and make it our own.
